Viewing DTV through ROKU streaming

I access DTV through my ROKU streaming device to watch the channels in my DTV provider package.  I use the ROKU remote for navigation, my DTV remote is not paired and I would prefer NOT to try that process.  When I have shows recorded in THE LIBRARY of the DTV and have viewed them, I am unable to find the command to delete them.  I have accessed SETTINGS for the receiver and selected delete when I want (not wait until the disk is full).   How do I delete episodes once I have viewed them. There is no delete button on the ROKU remote and I cannot find an onscreen command to highlight.  I do have regular programs set for recording each episode of a series in the future.  Thanks!

Hello Ziakate, let us help you manage your recordings and delete the episodes you have viewed. You can follow the next steps by accessing your DIRECTV STREAM using your ROKU device: 


1. Press the Down Arrow button


2. Arrow right to 'My Library', to view recordings


3. Arrow down to 'DVR Recordings, select recording OR continue arrow right to view 'All Recordings'


4. Highlight a title from the list to delete


5. Arrow right to the Trashcan Icon, press 'OK

 

You can also manage your DVR recordings online using the following link: https://stream.directv.com/library.

Thank you for these instructions, unfortunately they do not work!  I have attempted your steps both from the MY LIBRARY line of shows listed and also from the ALL RECORDINGS portion. Once the program is highlighted there is not ability to arros right to a trashcan icon.  There is no trashcan icon available.  Using the right arrow only moves across the listing row of MY LIBRARY or does nothing when using ALL RECORDINGS.  I will try the link you provided but that method will be inconvenient if required each and every time for this process.

Thanks so much for your insights. With your comments, we can improve your experience with the Roku device. We'll reach out to our developers with the idea of checking the possibility of starting to work on it. Thanks for being a DIRECTV customer. Natalia, DIRECTV Community Specialist
