Do cable companies have the ability to track what you DVR?

Question

They must, right?

Answer 1

They do, but really only for the purpose of channel ranking. They see how many people are watching what channels, that way they know which channels to add more of.

As far a PPV, my cable company allows me to record ppv and leave it on my dvr as long as I want. VOD (video on demand) only have 24 hr renting though.

Hope this helps mate.

Answer 2

yes thats why you cant keep a pay-per-view on your dvr for more than a day they're watching
