Why did you record a baseball game on MLB network but tell me I can't watch it???

I have the channel in my lineup.  I can watch the channel live.  I have the recording.  It's in my library, but when I try to watch it, it says it's restricted.  I've seen a lot of dumb stuff with Direct TV, but this is next level.

We apologize for the trouble with your recording, @lanunz. Did you encounter a specific error code or the complete error message when trying to access the MLB Network recording in the Library? John, DIRECTV Community Team

"Broadcast provider has restricted access to this program."  If it's restricted, why was I able to record it?

Thanks for the details. While the game was recorded, sports blackout restrictions, which are stipulated by the network that purchases the right to broadcast individual games, will still apply specifically to game recordings. John, DIRECTV Community Team
