There are similarities in how they operate. However recording in the cloud in theory could cover any content on any channel with no (or a very long) expiry date.
There would be some kind of restriction that you had to flag a programme for recording at the time, you couldn’t just go back to say September 2016 and fish out an old episode of Casualty.
Given enough time and enough series links the back library available to you could be huge, and be a huge incentive not to switch provider.
Depending on how it is applied the benefit to the operator would be it only has to store two copies of each programme (presumably a backup) and each request to play it back comes from that source.
