First thing is you dont have to worry about the Antenna not in the right position, the rain in the satellite or the dvr during a storm that you loose power.
Cloud is the key since its not at your location but you have exclusive rights to it. If I record Castle you can not watch my Castle recording.You still have access but its like RDP for computers. Cloud is the key.
The issue is I will leave directv and go this route since the channels I use to watch dont have the same programming. Weather Channel is worthless. News channels are to much political.
I dropped sat service a decade ago. Put an antenna in the attic because the wife didn’t like the rabbit ears. I get 32 channels of perfect video rain or shine. I use a Roku for getting programming similar to satellite, my biggest issue is spotty internet service, no antenna reception.
