Cloud DVR Space Remaining?

I just moved to DTV Stream.  How do you tell how much storage space you have remaining in My Library given the limited amount of space provided?  I moved from YTTV so never had to manage Cloud DVR space before.

Hi @randerto, thanks for reaching us out.

At the moment, the
Cloud DVR sends alerts when your storage plan is reaching its limit:

The 20 hours of Cloud DVR Plan sends alerts when you are reaching your limit (20% storage limit or 4 hours or less for space). The oldest recording is deleted to make room for new content.

The Unlimited Cloud DVR Plan sends alerts when a show or program is reaching the maximum episodes that could be recorded (30 episodes per TV series), once the limit is met, the oldest recorded episode will be automatically deleted first (within 90 days or less) to make room for the next recorded episode.

Finally, for both plans, the Cloud DVR feature stores titles for up to 90 days with DIRECTV STREAM. You’ll see an alert 7 days before a recording expires.

You can check this link if you are only using the free Cloud Storage

https://www.directv.com/support/stream/article/KM1227364/

OR

You can just simply pay $10 more per month so that you don't have to worry about it

I read through everything at that URL before posting the question but still don't see a way to see how much Cloud storage space is remaining.  Am I missing something?

The amount of space you have left is at the top of the recordings list. If you don't have a Dtv stream box go the "my library" then click "all recordings" to the left.

When I go to "My Library" it tells me how much space is left at the top of the page.

Thanks very much for this info - didn't have enough recordings to notice this on Roku UI.
