They just did not not design that feature into the system.

then how do you know its recording with out having to click on it via the 3 dots, this makes no sense. i just switched to streaming and this is enough to drive me away. over the years every provider showed on there guide you were recording a program with some type of notification on that program. this makes it to hard to make sure your certain program is recording.

thank you for the reply

Hi @dudeinin, thanks for reaching out.

With Cloud DVR from
DIRECTV STREAM, you can record and confirm the recording once it is done. You can record from the guide, the browsing carousel, or a device. Once the recording completes, you can verify it on your DVR Playlist or when you click on My Library, depending the device you are using.

Thanks for sharing your ideas about possible features that could improve the TV experience of DIRECTV STREAM, as soon as there are changes in the app and the recordings our customers will be the first to know.

I agree with you, Dudeinin.  Not being able to see what shows are recording from the guide is incredibly frustrating.  DirecTV satellite service has this option (we just switched from there), and to me it's a no-brainer.  I never thought I'd have to search the library to see if my program has recorded.  Also missing is a comprehensive list of all of the shows (by title, not episode) that you have scheduled to record.  I knew we'd miss some of the satellite features when we went to streaming, but these two were not any that I counted on.  DirecTV, please consider these updates to your recording feature.  Thanks!
