Thinking of subscribing to EE for the "Big Sport" TV package and the "EE TV Box Pro" which can record 600 hours of TV.
If for example I record an F1 race from NOW sports in the afternoon I assume that the recording is stored on the hard drive and not in the cloud and is available to watch immediately.
Is my assumption correct ?

Yes the recording of an F1 race will be recorded to the hard drive of the TV box pro and can been watched at anytime, this is what I do.
Please note if you want to watch the race in 4K ultra HD this is currently not available with EE TV, it's been talked about for over a year but there is still no time line for when it will / might arrive.

One other caveat: the box must remain connected to your EE TV broadband line to watch the recording. If it's disconnected from the internet or connected to the internet elsewhere, the subscription won't be valid, and the recording will be blocked from being watched.

just to say it is normally promoted as having up to 600 hours of recording capacity. That would typically be based on SD recordings from Freeview broadcasts. So HD recordings will occupy more disk space and 4K recordings considerably more disk space.
