Comment on After pushing cloud storage, TV provider to auto-delete 61-day-old DVR recordings
IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 7 months agoWhere? The vast majority are sold with up x hours of runtime. That was how TiVo worked, it would auto delete after you ran out of space or watched an episode. I’m not saying a company should pull a bait and switch if that’s what happened here. Just that y’all are imagining where these were sold as long term media collections. Is for millennials and Gen x to get their cable each week instead of streaming from Plex/jellyfin.
“Where?”
Can you do the bare minimum and read the article before showing off what a dumb ass you are?
On May 1, Fibe TV will automatically delete recordings stored on its Cloud PVR (personal video recorder) offering once the recordings hit 61 days of age, as confirmed by Canadian online newspaper Daily Hive. Currently, customers maintain access to recordings stored via Cloud PVR for 365 days.
Okay, where was it advertised as long term storage? Is 1 year the extent of a media collection? Normal users weren’t using it this way. I doubt the majority of people in here have ever really used these devices and are equating them to Plex. People subscribed to cable some care any this shit and I guess that engages everyone.
1 full year is significantly longer term than “around the time it comes out”.
