I have ordered the MLB extra innings package every year it was offered. This year I was wavering thinking $90 was too much for a 60 game season that might not even finish. But I was anxious to try recording a game on HD on the new dedicated channels 3001 +. Sure enough, they are having a free preview, so I recorded the Arizona game. Here is my experience...Numerous times I got a message that there was something wrong with the playback and asked me to record it again. When I finally got it to play back, I saw it was a "cloud" recording. I don't know about you, but I can't sit through a 3 and half hour recording without FF at least at 2x speed for a lot of it. On a regular DVR recording, 2x is very smooth and you can see everything going on. On a "cloud' recording, it is herky jerky and unwatchable. I tried to record a channel this morning (the schedule was on) and couldn't play it back at all- as I got "there is comething wrong with playback" message repeatedly. Comcast still has a lot of work to do with these new dedicated channels and needless to say, I won't be ordering the MLB package.
Edit: I guess it makes sense now why I am making "cloud recordings" The voice command for going to channels 3001 and up doesn't work, so they are not the same "kind" of dedicated channels as the lower ones.
