New List format is awful
The new List function is horrible. Under the old format, I could select recorded shows with one button. The new function is counter-intuitive and just awful. Whoever thought of this ought to be fired. Is there a way to revert to the old format? Aside from the never-ending commercials, this gives me

Please restore the old LIST format for recordings
If anyone at DirecTV actually reads this, please restore the simple “list” function of recorded programs. Two days ago, its was replaced on my satellite service with a cumbersome, counter-intuitive image-based screen with a “browse” button that doesn’t browse, it takes you back where you started in

April 2026 update terrible - need ability to record Other Ways to Watch episodes
New interface is terrible for anyone who manages their Upcoming Recordings. Ways to Watch feature does NOT allow you to record.... Instead you now have to search, hunt, and peck your way through the guide to do each separately. Please fix and bring back the ability to record different/later airings

Please bring back the old List
The new Direct Tv Menu (Edited per community guidelines)! I can’t find programs that I have recorded. I can no longer watch the 10 Law and Order shows that it shows I have recorded. When I click on it it just takes me back to the menu again. Why can’t companies leave things alone. The old way was so

I had my DVR receiver replaced today with the Genie 2 HS17. While there are no issues with any of my TVs and physical receivers if I try to watch my programming on any of my mobile devices or Apple TV the majority of the channels are no longer available to be streamed.
