Why does DVR content count against my data quota?
A cording to the app, when I watch DVR content, my box is using data.
That doesn't seem right.

The panoramic gateway acts as the host and the receivers won't work without the host itself. So there's no direct way to test that theory.
You say DVR counts against data...mod says not true...so my theory was to remove everything from your network except your DVR...watch a recording...then compare usage.
If I turn off my router, there's no TV, DVR, or streaming. DVR'd programming isn't stored inside the home, but in the cloud.
You turn off your router and lose cable-TV service? Is it just me...? It reads like a cartoon.
If your coaxial cable-box depends on the Internet, the chatty nature of a client alone is enough to charge you data usage.
"Cloud" means Internet. Anything stored on the Internet is data usage. Unless Cox is filtering Internet packets carrying recorded TV programs, Cox is charging you data.
Turn in all this rented junk and rent a DVR.
