Auto Extending Time Bally Sports Baseball

Since starting with ATT baseball has auto extended. This year I’ve missed the end of back to back Braves games. My ONLY reason for having Direct Stream is Braves coverage. How does this get corrected?

Extended is automatic and there are no manual options. Most sports are extended, but not all. Best option is to record the next slot to make sure.

Same, exact, problem.  Braves games are NOT autoextending!!!  If the Guide shows 3 hours, that all that’s recorded.  It even says auto-extend at to left of screen!

Follow up 

Recorded Braves versus Mets on Bally Sports South on 8th between 7pm and 10pm. Auto extend didn’t work. Game cutoff during top of 8th with 2 out during pitcher change. 

Recorded Braves versus Mets replay on Bally Sports South on 8th between 11pm and 2am on 9th.  Auto extend worked. Saw end of game. 

Unless replay was edited to fit into 11-2 time slot, auto extend worked.  I didn’t get the replay started recording until bottom of first inning.

Auto extend has WORKED the last two nights (4/15/24 and 4/16/24) on the Braves games.  Games were extended beyond the ends of both games.  

Maybe it’s safe to quit recording the program following the allotted 3 hour time slot for MLB games.
