"Able to my recorded program"?  I assume you mean "view" your recorded program?

That's an interesting features.  And since it's cloud-based, I'm wondering if they're really recording it for you at all - or just letting you replay it later (they might just broadcast a recorded version anyway).

Not cloud-based or cable, but on my BBS PC at home, I also have a Plex media server (where I keep some of my movies & TV shows etc. to stream to my devices).  I also have a TV tuner connected to it, and Plex is able to stream over-the-air TV to my devices, and it also acts as a DVR, letting you record TV broadcasts (a paid feature).  Plex can stream outside the home too, so I could watch any of that content wherever I am, as long as I have internet access.
