April 2026 update terrible - need ability to record Other Ways to Watch episodes

Please restore the old LIST format for recordings
If anyone at DirecTV actually reads this, please restore the simple “list” function of recorded programs. Two days ago, its was replaced on my satellite service with a cumbersome, counter-intuitive image-based screen with a “browse” button that doesn’t browse, it takes you back where you started in

Changes to DTV Programming Features
I hope Mr. John Abzidir reads my new post today, 7/6/26. Another lie when it comes to explanations about changes in DTV programming features (Cast & Crew and Ways to Watch). No one asked for this change.
