With regards to the recordings, if they were extremely old they could have been removed for a number of reasons. If a movie is recorded during a weekend or week long promo event, they will be removed once the promo is done. If the channel that carried the movie loses it's rights (they typically have movies a set period of time), it gets removed.
I had DirecTV for 20 years. Too many game to play when you want to renew to get a good price. Once I moved to Florida, no way I would ever have DirecTV or Dish - the rainouts happen on far too many days here. No signal for hours, and for any live events you're screwed.
I then had Xfinity. Good internet, good TV... then the rate increases started. I was able to get good rates for 3 years, but this past year the "best" rate they could give me was too much. Went to CenturyLink for 1GB fiber internet. $65/month, no taxes, no fees. Guaranteed for life. Fiber is the best you can get for internet - no issues with bandwidth, user load, etc. They give you the fiber modem for free.
Signed up for YouTube TV. As a T-Mobile customer, you get $10/month as long as you are a T-Mobile customer. So that's $55/month. I have all the channels I need, an unlimited DVR, and all for $120/month. Xfinity's "best" package included 200Mb internet - 1/5 the speed I have with CenturyLink - the same number of channels I regularly watch (yeah, Xfinity says you get 200 channels, but there's easily over 150 of these channels I would never watch), and I save $50/month.
