Trouble with sports taping
I watch a lot of sports, but tape most events. When I go into "My library" to watch a game, instead of letting me start at the beginning, about half the time it shows me a live screen with the score, removing any suspense. What causes this and how to I fix it?

DVR recordings
One of the biggest downsides in moving from satellite to streaming is the 9 month expiration on dvr recordings. Is there anyway Directv stream can have a “video vault” that would protect say 50 hours of recordings ?

Paying extra for no ad versions of free streaming apps
How much longer will it take Directv to add this feature ? Xfinity already gives Disney/Hulu for free, and allows the user to pay an extra 8 per month for the ad free version.
