Recording not available at this time

You said DirecTV, do you mean DirecTV Stream, as you have posted in the DirecTV Stream area. They are two different services. One satellite  and the other streaming.
If Stream, what device are you using?

I am also having this problem on DirectTV Stream. Who can help me?

I'm going to cancel this service next month.

Thanks, lou_do. Yes, we have DirecTV Stream with a new C71KW-400 box provided by ATT for wifi connection to our UVerse high-speed internet router. (ATT is phasing out the old DirecTV service in our area). I tried simply restarting the box, but with no success. We also use an Apple TV (Gen 4) and newish Roku device for wifi streaming to our two TV sets, but not for recording.

It's not working on any platform I have.

Thanks, Veronica. Using the "Overflow/More Info" option produced the same error message ("Recording/Channel not available etc . . ."). HOWEVER, selecting the program from "Guide", then selecting "View all episodes" successfully allows recording with the record options available from the "View all episodes" screen. Not a big nuisance, but it would be nice if the simpler one-click options (on the remote, directly from "Guide") worked!

I tried that and it allows you to record the series. But when you go to view it they're not there.

All recording options available directly from "Guide" are now working: no more error messages "Recording/Channel not available etc."

Hallelujah! It's also working on mine.
