Recording while watching a program

I have had Uverse for 2 years. I thought one of it's features was the dvr would record whatever you were watching and if you hit record it would record from whenever you started watching. Am I crazy or has something changed?

If you are watching a program and it has been on for 15 minutes.  The dvr will record the buffered portion of the program (which would be from the beginning) to the end.  If you are watching a program on one of the non-dvr stbs, then it will begin recording from the point you pressed record.

Thanks for the reply. I was working with someone on the ATT Chat and she said it was not possible.

If you don't want to record that already watched portion in the buffer, just change to another channel then go back and press record, the buffer is gone.  Only the unwatched portion wil be recorded. 😉

I do that when I want to record a program I am watching and I am about to leave.  When I don't want to record it from the beginning I change the channel and then come back.  That erases the buffer as Chris stated.
