I believe in the USA cloud recordings with Comcast stay in the cloud for a year.

Just an example, but it wouldn't surprise me if it is tiered depending on the channel and package you pay for.

Yes I`ve had the same email offer. I wont be taking up the offer as Sky movies is crap,and also you have to remember to phone and cancel before the end of the month or you start being charged for it.

Take the offer vince, Sky Movies is good to have for a month every now and again and cram in all the films you want to see. Obviously even better if that month is free.

It does get very repetitive if you have Sky Movies all the time though so take other people's points about it being crap in that sense.

My recordings go back over a year and I would want to be able to access anything I flagged up on the cloud for a similar period.

Is 90 days some sort of industry standard or did you make that up as an example?

Agreed, restricting to 90 days would actually be crazy and a reduction in service. Like you I keep recordings much longer than that and typically watch a whole series well after it was originally shown.

If VM ONLY had a cloud base option for storing recordings and limiting them to 90 days availability it would be exit time for me. In fact more I think about this, it would be commercial suicide for VM IMHO

Cloud based storage is normally limited by capacity not time anyway so that is the route I expect VM to go down. It may be a case of 500MB cloud storage free then pay for uplifts in 500MB increments, but what you store and how long is up to you.
