I have various streamig programs, like Netflix and Fubo. I use that service DVR service for various programs. I have been watcing my Interent Data Usage and it appears that I data volume raises when I DVR a program, and then again when I watch the program. To me, that is double dipping.
Is there another explanation or do I need to seek counsel?
Thanks

Your "problem" makes sense to me. If Netflix, Fubo or any streaming service doesn't have a local hard drive, any DVR service will be Cloud storage. Therefore, any time you watch a recorded...or Cloud-stored...program, it'll measure as data use.
If you want to record but not be double-dipped, you'll need a device to locally store...or subscribe to an unlimited data plan. I don't record but I'm sure other contributors would have suggestions.
