DirecTV DVR recordings and Fire Stick TV
I installed the DirecTV app on my Fire Stick TV. It works perfectly, including replays of recorded programs, with the exception of news programs. Specifically, my DirecTV records Good Morning America each day. When I try to replay any GMA recordings through my Fire Stick, I receive the error message "DVR Only." Oddly, the Fire Stick will replay recordings of "60 Minutes."
Is there an explanation for this restrictions?

Do you have DIRECTV satellite?

I do have a satellite dish and Genie system with distribution from the main DTV unit to three DTV remote units over wi-fi. I replaced one DTV remote with a Fire Stick because my wife wanted a single-remote-control solution. Again, the Fire Stick integration with DTV is perfect, except for the inability to replay recorded news programs.

So, then you installed the Directv App on a Firestick --and you are using your Directv Satellite credentials to login to the app?

There is a bug in the directv streaming app for satellite right now preventing anyone from viewing recordings. Being this is a public forum full of customers we aren’t aware of an expected fix date by directv, but hopefully soon.

Thanks, all. The bug may be partially fixed because we can replay all recordings except news (i.e. GMA, Today, World News Tonight). Fingers crossed on a final update soon.

You have DirecTV (satellite) but posted in the DIRECTV STREAM forum. Moving to the correct area.

@weclark
whatever content you can replay is available through on-demand and thus can be watched. The reason you can’t watch the news is because it is not available through on-demand and since the bug is present the app can’t get the content from the DVR for the time being.
