Can you add minutes to the end of aa DVR scheduled recording?

I just got DirecTV Stream.  I can't find a way to add minutes to a scheduled recording when the program I am recording comes after a sporting event that normally goes past its scheduled time.  Is there a way to do this with Stream?  I'm pretty sure DirecTV Satellite had the feature when I had that years ago, and my most recent service (Spectrum) also had it.

Hello. We want you to have access to all your favorite recorded programming every time you want. Currently, DIRECTV STREAM has the option to auto-extend your recordings. The auto-extend feature only works for sports programming, when games go over time, and for live events. You can learn all the detailed information about this process here https://www.directv.com/support/stream/article/KM1489147 Juan, DIRECTV Community Specialist

The extended time should be available to the programming AFTER the sports event also.  It is frustrating to get to the end of a program and have those important last few minutes cut off leaving you clueless to the outcome.

Just record the show after the show you want to watch. That's what I do.

Thanks, I will have to, but the solution is simple if they just added that feature as other services have.
