Using fire stick 4k max

We are new to streaming.   We have a new Samsung 82" TV,  an Amazon Fire Stick 4k max, have signed up and down loaded the Directv Streaming App, and we are using the included fire stick remote.  HOW DO I RECORD A PROGRAM???  AND WHERE THE HECK DO I FIND IT ONCE IT'S RECORDED??  (can you feel my frustration.)  I have searched for tutorials on YouTube,  been on the Directv site, worn my fingers down to squeaking little gerbils googling info.  We have 4 tvs.  Each one is about to go out the window!  Please, I'm begging.  Please help me

Hello @dalen, being able to record your favorite shows is a must nowadays. Rest assured we're here to help you with your recordings.

You can record programs by going to the guide--selecting a program and recording it there. Also by using the search icon. You find them by hitting the down button on the firestick remote---then going to my library.
