I normally use Channels to record sports, allowing me to watch later and skip ads.
Since no sports are going on for a while, was thinking of cancelling the DVR monthly cost for a few months.
Will I still be able to play old recordings?
Yes, all Channels Plus features will be disabled.
You will still be able to access your recorded files to what you’d like with though. They’re just on your hard drive.
Furthermore: If you're using the free DVR versions of apps on your streaming device(s), you'll lose those, too.
