Extend Live Sports Recordings

It is unforgivable that I cannot manually extend live sports recordings like Auto Racing & Tennis coverage.

This is a feature of most all other cloud recording systems like Youtube TV !!

We are working on a solution for those live sports. Recording the next show is a workaround, thank you bcbsncjlj. Read more about Auto Extend here

This auto-extend feature doesn't work reliably. Today it's failed - multiple college football game recordings ended at the scheduled time, even though they weren't over yet. Happened multiple times last football season also...and it sometimes fails w/Major League Baseball too.

This is on D1 football and MLB which are supposed to be supported for this feature on "available devices" - both Osprey box AND AppleTV (and since it's cloud-based I'd expect the problem to happen on all devices).

This has not been reliable for a long time, and I've seen others post complaints about it. DirecTV needs to fix make this work better.

I understand this isn't a support forum, but for others who have this problem, please contact DirecTV support and ask them to fix this. I called them today.

For any DirecTV reps monitoring this forum, please report/escalate this longstanding issue internally. Thanks!
