Can't play recorded programs

I'm unable to play recorded programs, either through my DVR or through the Xfinity streaming app.  I can see the recordings saved on the DVR and on my app, but when I hit play, I get "Sorry we're having some trouble.  Please try again in a few minutes" on the DVR or "Playback Issue: TVAPP-00353.  Sorry, something unexpected happened.  Please try again". 

I've done a reboot and a refresh on the DVR and tried multiple times over an hour with the same results.  

What else can I do to resolve this?

Hi,  Thanks for all the support.  I engaged a support agent who coordinated real time with Xfinity Engineering to understand the issue.  The recordings in question were three NFL games.  I am able to watch NFL games on my local channels and on ESPN, but not on the NFL Network.  It turns out that even though I launched the recordings from channels I have access to, the playback of the recordings is being blocked by the NFL Network since I don't have access to that channel.  I've been able to watch recorded NFL games of my local team, but these three recordings I had issues with were not my local team.  Weird.

I consider this issue resolved.  Thanks!
