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

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.
