Auto Extend Fail

I missed the very end of the Lakers versus Bulls game tonight. This Auto extend so-called feature fools you into thinking you're going to record the entire game. Why am I paying for such an expensive service when it fails? The only reason why I even got DirecTV stream is for these basketball games. This is pathetic. I'm getting ripped off.

I got the entire game (2 hrs 39 minutes) from Spectrum Sports Net channel. Which specific channel was your recording recorded from? Auto extensions for basketball & baseball work for me all the time. NASCAR had in the past sone challenges but that was fixed eventually.

Never trust the auto-extend feature. Always record the following program to ensure you get the whole game. Known issue for years.
