Not true! YouTube records to the cloud which requires internet bandwidth. “YouTube TV's cloud DVR storage is unlimited and requires no extra fees.”

The only way you won’t use internet bandwidth for recordings is if you have a receiver with a built in hard disk, ALL other recordings using the upload internet bandwidth which is very slow in TV. I have xfinity 1.2G network speed internet hitch is only the download speed, upload speed is 20-30M.
We record 5-6 shows simultaneously and this chews up internet bandwidth.
