telcodad join:2011-09-16 Lincroft, NJ kudos:2 1 edit	From the articles I've seen about Comcast's "Cloud DVR" service (»www.lightreading.com/network-dvr···40144700 and »www.lightreading.com/network-dvr···40136612), it's supposed to work similar to the "DVR Plus" RS-DVR system that Cablevision offers (»optimum.custhelp.com/app/answers···dvr-plus), which appears to use a VoD-like, Video QAM carrier-based method (and not IP) and can be viewed on many regular-model STBs in the subscriber's home.

Joe- At least in my region, they're sitting on 15+ open QAM's right now - there's plenty of bandwidth. -- "ONE team - ONE city - ONE dream!!"

PGHammer join:2003-06-09 Accokeek, MD	reply to Joe12345678 Comcast has existing bandwidth contracts with Level 3 and Akamai (dating back at least a decade - the two contracts date back to when I was still working for them in Silver Spring) - so I doubt bandwidth to the cloud is an issue.
