DVR not working on some content on Directv Stream

The DirecTV Stream digital video recorder was working fine until about February 18, 2023.  I started getting messages that the content I wanted was not licensed to be streamed.  These were shows I had recorded and watched before. Other recorded shows streamed just fine from the DVR.  I only watch on DVR on a delayed basis, even sports, so this is a deal breaker for me.  I do not have the satellite service and never have.  I do use the DirecTV wifi cable boxes. Anybody else seeing this?

Jeopardy.  A basketball game.  The Late Show.  Normal stuff.  All on channels to which I subscribe.  In other words, I am not getting what I paid for.

Sounds like those are your local TV stations?  Fox stations and a few others don't give DirecTV and other streaming services the rights for certain shows. Maybe that's what's happening with those shows. 

Have you tried resetting your DirecTV Stream box?
