Record Red Sox from NESN specifically

Hi @jer12983476129837461,

It is Directv stream. This article explains how to initiate recordings as I have already done but doesn't explain how I might restrict the recording to a specific channel.

Got it! Thanks for elaborating your concern, @jer12983476129837461.

Most likely it is recording the other channel (YESHDNY) because what you want to record (NESN) is set with recording restrictions from the provider which prevents you from recording its programming. We can confirm if this situation falls the category mentioned above by creating a favorite list with NESN and trying to record from that list.

In case this scenario persist, the content might not be recordable because of content creator rights. We suggest you to check On Demand to see whether the programming you want to watch is available there.

Nesn is already on our favorites (and the YES network is not), but it still recorded from YES. Is there a specific way to force it to record from a favorite channel? As you said "trying to record from that list"

Where might I find a "record options" button? If I press record, I get a "recording set" notification at which I can either press "ok" or "record series".

We have been using the "record series" button.

As far as I can tell, we have no other options available.

@jer12983476129837461, just to make sure we're on the same page, are you trying to record content from a DIRECTV STREAM device?

No, we are not. We have the DIRECTTV stream app on an Amazon Fire Cube. I'd happily use a Directtv stream device, I didn't know it existed - we subscribed to the service when it was still run by ATT. They had a device but they stopped supporting it I believe and told us to use the app instead.

Will a DIRECTTV stream device provide better options for recording? And, if so, how might I obtain one?

@jer12983476129837461, thanks for confirming the equipment you use. The instructions listed above are for the DIRECTV STREAM devices only, so you're good.

@Ludwick577 as far as I can tell this has resolved the issue. Of course this is after I bought a directv stream device at support's suggestion which I'm not thrilled about

I've use the apps and their Dtv Stream box. Their device is 100x better than any app. Got to have those numbers for channel changing and the buttons for the guide, list, previous channel and record. FF and rewind work better to vs apps.

I haven't actually taken it out of the box yet since finding the app update seemed to have worked. Maybe I'll give it a shot

Yes try it. You won't go back to the app.
