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.
Are you sure about that? It's recording in the cloud, why would the stream come through to your router and back out to YoutubeTV's servers if it's stored in the cloud? And with 1.2G network speed down (overkill unless you are running torrents or bitcoin mining) you could stream 30 programs concurrently and not notice anything.
