Recently my TV provider has decided to put all their DVR features in the cloud. So I have a huge DVR with hard drives sitting under my TV that's now completely useless as far as they are concerned. Instead I get laggy replay functionality in their cloud that doesn't even work right and fails to record new episodes every so often. And of course it prevents fast forwarding through ads, which I'm sure is why they went with this bullshit solution.
