Recording Past Listed End Time

Most of these games are set to automatically record the extended air time. No adjustments or special settings need to be applied to the recording.

Thanks for reply, but I tried recording a game today on the SEC Network and it cut it off.

Unfortunately, some games just don’t auto-extend. However, the majority of them do. In this case, you can extend the game by recording the next program that airs after the game.

I was hoping to avoid that. Do the games list the extended time somewhere?

Hi @imccoy87, we understand the importance of having access to record our favorite sports programming.
 

Thanks @detuch254 for the accurate and prompt response. 

As it was mentioned before, recording on DIRECTV STREAM can't be extended. You can learn more information about cloud DVR. 

If you have any other question or concern, feel free to message us back.

Thanks. I guess it wasn't an official Div. 1 game, so that's probably why it didn't work.

For this we recommend you to check this information about the DIRECTV STREAM Cloud DVR, also you can record the next show to make sure you don't miss any part of the game.

So, the focus of everything here is to make sure one doesn't miss the end of the game. I just learned (the hard way) that once a program goes long, ALL DOWNSTREAM PROGRAMMING IS AFFECTED. I lost the last half of the 12/10/2022 episode of 60 Minutes because the football game that preceded it went long. So - the advice to record the next show is insufficient. If you have any interest in a downstream show, you essentially have to record ALL the downstream shows. This is stupid.

Stupid - Yes. But you have no other option.

...and to make it worse in this case, the program that followed 60 minutes was not a weekly show occupying a stable timeslot. So, not only do I have to record the next show, I have to remember to do it EVERY WEEK.

I think for regular shows like 60 Minutes you can get them in On Demand.
