After 18 years we canceled service and Directv found a way to screw us over. So much for treating long term customers with respect.

Why can’t I pre-record an upcoming movie anymore as of April 15, 2026
Hello, I noticed yesterday that when you go to Guide and then info on the movie, it’s a whole different way now. Why can I no longer click on an upcoming movie to record at a later date?
