So when I press play on a recorded show the remote control sends the signal to the DVR which then sends it through the coax connection, out my home, over miles of connections to servers in a data center somewhere in the world, then the servers interpret the "play recording" message and send the signal back to the DVR telling it to play the recording?

A cable signal is required to playback recordings on your local DVR. It works the same as when you posted about this over a year ago.
