Quick Answer
DVR cloud recording is included on the Gold and Platinum plans only. Every plan, including Starter and Silver, includes 7-day Catch-Up TV instead, which covers most of the same need without active recording.
DVR by Plan
| Plan | DVR Included |
|---|---|
| Starter (1 month) | No — Catch-Up TV only |
| Silver (3 months) | No — Catch-Up TV only |
| Gold (6 months) | Yes |
| Platinum (12 months) | Yes |
Cloud-Based
Recordings are stored remotely — no device storage needed.
No Local Setup
No external hard drive or box required, unlike traditional cable DVR.
DVR is especially useful for sports fans who want to record a live game and watch it later without spoilers — pair it with the sports channel lineup on Gold or Platinum.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which plans include DVR recording?
DVR cloud recording is included on the Gold (6-month) and Platinum (12-month) plans. Starter and Silver don't include it.
What's the difference between DVR and Catch-Up TV?
Catch-Up TV, included on every plan, lets you watch programmes that already aired in the past 7 days without recording anything yourself. DVR lets you actively record a broadcast to watch later, on Gold and Platinum only.
Do I need extra storage for DVR recordings?
No — recordings are stored in the cloud rather than on your device, so there's no local storage to manage.
Can I upgrade my plan just to get DVR?
Yes — contact support to upgrade from Starter or Silver to Gold or Platinum, and the remaining value of your current plan is applied as credit.
