If you are looking at the app, the “recordings” are what is available from the ON DEMAND offerings.
To explain further, I just looked at the app on my phone. I have lots of RECORDINGS on my DVR but when I try to access them on the app it says “No Recorded Shows On Your Home DVR” which just means that none of my recordings are available ON DEMAND.
UverseTV has never allowed customers to watch their recordings remotely. You can MANAGE your recordings on your DVR (set/cancel). You just can’t WATCH your recordings. 🤷♀️
It is sometimes useful to schedule and even delete shows from the app, even though you cannot watch. Not sure if it still does it, but you used to could click a button to watch--via On-Demand-- something that you had recorded on your DVR that was also available On-Demand.
Which (a) is an http link which doesn't work on my copy of Chrome, and (b) does not (at this time) take you to a page that allows you to manage your DVR, because the web pages that did that went away 5-6 years ago.
Sometimes ATThelp needs to just stay out of a thread. They jump in ones that are handled and ignore ones they should be able to help with.

Uverse TV does not allow viewing of recorded programs remotely on the app…never has.

Why in the heck are recordings offered? Can they be watched elsewhere?

Except he went back to some U-verse source material and got this lovely line:
