Cloud DVR: What is it?

Cloud DVR is a service that records television shows and stores the recordings on the provider's servers instead of a physical box in your home. This allows you to access recordings from multiple devices and often provides more storage and simultaneous recording options than a traditional DVR. Recordings are stored in the cloud and remain available even if you get a new set-top box. Call HuronTel today to add Cloud DVR to your TV experience! 1-800-395-3800 (option 1).
