Recordings cutting off final 20 minutes

My DVR recordings are cutting off the final 20 minutes. If it's a 1 hour show, when I get to the 40 minute mark it brings up the question if I want to keep or delete, what you typically see at end of a recording. Is this a known issue? Any way to fix?

Thanks

Specifically channels 220 and 242. Maybe others but those two for sure

Hi @Ts12345 here to help! This may be caused due to transmission discordance between broadcast and the program list.

This can be solved just by setting a new stop time for the specific program.
This is how you can change DVR recording settings on Directv.

Make sure the blue line is under “More Info” and press SELECT.

- The recording options screen. In the recording options screen, arrow down to “Recording” On older DVRs you may need to press SELECT to get to the next screen.
- Set a new stop time. Arrow over and down to get to Stop.
- Confirm your options.

I’ve done both of those things and it has not helped. It just started happening to me  about a week ago. The programs stops and asks if I want to delete it. eight minutes into a two hour recorded program. Both times it was a program on Ovation, channel 274.
