Hello. I’m having the same issue. Most recent iOS installed on my iPad. Seems to occur more often on my home WiFi connection.

So I've read all of the posts about the legal issue and the removal of the remote recording function from the Comcast apps and desktop computers. It seems the mods all suggest using On Demand (which is their answer for everything). Can someone from Comcast please respond if they plan on putting all of the live sports on demand then? It's a tedious process to use the set top box to set recordings, and the fact I could start recording a live sports event remotely was one of the primary selling points for me to stick with cable anyway since I'm mainly a sports viewer. At the very least house all of the live sports On Demand and at least that would solve this temporarily.

ComcastTeds, what about those of us that prefer to watch the Premiums we pay a lot of money for on a more linear level? The complaints seem to be most people enjoy browsing, they don’t want to start from the beginning and watch On Demand. Yet as I’ve browsed the forums, that is your response to the numerous folks asking for this. On Demand is not the same.

I too appreciate all of the discussion on this topic and the acknowledgement that Comcast is leaving their customers out in the cold on this issue. As mentioned before, I'm sure they're trying to figure out ways to monetize additional storage, but the wait has been extremely frustrating. I'd even be willing to pay (reluctantly) for additional storage, I just wish we even had the option!

Everytime I get a notification that ComcastTeds has replied to this discussion I get so excited that he may possibly say that the port has been turned on. I'm always so disappointed after I read it. Eventually I will just learn to be disappointed from the outset.

Not to mention, you can typically find used TiVo Roamio's on Ebay or Craigslist for quite a bit less than retail. I'm almost talking myself into it. LOL.

Unless I am missing something, a comparable TiVo is around $350, then you add the $15 a month for a subscription. Seems like too much added cost for extra recording space. Replacing the X1 with a TiVo box doesn't mean paying less for your Comcast bill, correct? Definitely more expensive, but I would think you'd be able to shed Comcast's DVR-related costs from your bill, which should easily make up for the $15/month, if not quite a bit more. But yes, the upfront cost is spendy, for sure.

My package includes the X1, but I am using a standard DVR with an external drive instead because of the storage space issue. An upcoming phase of Cloud DVR is expected to include options for additional DVR storage space ComcastTeds, any idea what that phase would be rolled out in the Minneapolis, MN area? If it's soon, then I don't have to shop for a TiVo. You'd save me a lot of money. :-) Thanks again for your input on this forum. It really is much appreciated.

That's the unfortunate part of all of this. I really do like the new X1 platform, but going from 1.5 TB of storage (my Motorola DVR combined with the Western Digital DVR Expander) to 500 GB is very noticable. I just wish I had never upgraded to X1 so then I wouldn't know what I'd be missing had I just stuck with what I had. Really don't want to go the TiVo route, but Comcast is kind of forcing my hand.

Thanks for the response, ComcastTeds. It's just really disappointing. 500 gb is not enough space, in my opinion. I'm ready to just throw in the towel and switch to TiVo instead.

Thanks for all the great info, guys. It's much appreciated. I'll post if I decide to try to talk them into an older box setup.

I'm seriously considering "downgrading" back to the old Motorola HD box. 1.5 TB of storage (combined with the WD DVR Expander) compared to the 500 GB X1. I do like the layout of the X1 and the ability to watch in any room with a slave hookup, so just trying to weigh the positives versus the BIG negative. I surmise it will be at least a year before I have the option for expanded cloud storage here in Minneapolis. I'm not holding my breath at this point.

So just to be clear, there are zero X1 boxes with ESATA support, correct?

Of course 90% of the recordings that Comcast deleted are conveniently not On Demand. God, I wish I was able to switch to a different cable company.

I'm having the same issue. Anything older than 30 days has been deleted from my X1 box. I've called Comcast several times and they keep saying it's a known issue and all of the saved programs should be in "the cloud". I'm highly doubful any of these recordings will be restored.
