DirectTV Cloud DVR Not Recording

The cloud DVR won’t allow me to record anything.  Error message states “There’s a recording problem”.

Under My Library, The Cloud DVR section says “Your cloud DVR holds up to 0 hours of recordings.”

I have unlimited cloud DVR.  I have rebooted the internet and ATT DirectTV boxes several times.  Same error message.  This has been going on for a least 2 weeks.  I need help - otherwise this service will be canceled.

Hello @TheHappyOne , thanks for reporting this situation.

Let's make sure we follow the right steps to get it fixed. Have you tried using different devices? Also, are you using DIRECTV STREAM device or a mobile device? If it's a mobile device, what is the model and brand?

This information will be appreciated to keep looking at the best resolution. Meanwhile, we can try fix common DIRECTV app issues.


We'll be attentive to your answer. If the issue persists, please let us know to continue the assistance.

Thank you to all who responded.  We called ATT and were instructed to do a Factory Reset which we did.  The tech also did a refresh from his end.  Now everything is fixed and works PERFECTLY. So very excited to be able to record again.  Thank you ATT!

What happens when you go to the Dtv stream website and try to setup a recording or go to "my library"   stream.directv.com

Thanks for reaching out. My problem is I no longer have any DVR functionality on my Directv Stream devices. 
We purchased our (3) Directv Stream boxes from our local AT&T store around October 8th with the (unlimited DVR) option. 
Things were working fine for about three weeks then suddenly we got the following message when pressing  the List button.
"Looks like your DVR is empty" - Our shows were missing.
When I select the "upcoming recordings" option. (It just shows an explanation of the DVR feature.) 
It doesn't list any of the shows we had preset to record in the future. I just get the following message.
"Set your favorite shows and movies to record, then find them right here."
When I attempt to record by going to the Guide and choosing an upcoming show by (hitting the  red recording button) I get
a large box on my screen with a (yellow circle containing an exclamation mark {!}) with the following message beneath it.
"Looks like something went wrong. We couldn't set the recording you requested."
While in the Guide if I hit ( the OK button on an upcoming show) and then choose (the record option) I get this message:
"Recording isn't available now unfortunately, this show and/or its channel isn't available for recording at this time."
(No matter what channel or show I select these are the messages I get using the various options to record.)
I've spoken with a tech/customer service rep, and we went through the rebooting/pressing the red button on the devices,
also unplugged them for a minute and nothing changed. I was told from their end everything appears to working fine.
They stated they couldn't replicate the issue and it appears the DVR functionality is working. (Just not on my end apparently.)
Any suggestions?

This is what I see when I go to the DTV Stream Website: https://stream.directv.com/library

"Cloud DVRRecord up to 20 hours of your favorite shows: they'll be right here waiting
for you. Upgrade to UNLIMITED HOURS anytime."

P.S. We ALREADY have unlimited hours! LOL

Did your last payment go thru? Seems like the system thinks you don't have service. When you click on "account details" on the website and look at what you have---is unlimited dvr there.

Something is messed up with your account. Call the DirecTV Stream support number below. If they can't get it fixed it might be easiest to cancel this account and create a new one with a different email address.

I agree something is wrong.  The last time we called, we were told by ATT that they would send new boxes if the problem persisted, but I don't think the problem is the box but that something is off with the account.


NEED HELP?
