Ordered PPV event and it didn't record

I bought the AEW Full Gear PPV yesterday to "order and record" and it did not record. I tuned into the PPV 2 minutes before it began to make sure that I didn't miss anything. I noticed that it was not recording and tried pressing record but got a message that I "must have a subscription to the channel in order to record". This has happened before but the recording had appeared after the PPV was over. I hoped that this would happen again because I was only able to watch the first hour due to a family event. When I came back later, the recording was not there. Is there a way for this PPV to be added to my DVR? If not, please refund my purchase.

@Adulwulf77 Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us here on our Community Forum. Just to clarify, the recording does not appear in your list of recorded content when you try and access it on your DVR? If you are trying to access the recording on the Streaming App, with PPV content it will only be available on your actual DVR.

Correct, the recording never showed up on my DVR. I never tried to access it through the streaming app. I ordered it a 2nd time and also chose the "order and record" option but was able to watch the replay "live" all the way through. However, the 2nd order did not show up in my DVR either. If I can just be charged for one purchase it would be appreciated as I was never able to watch the initial purchase. This is also not the first time that I have had this issue with an AEW PPV. Is there a possible reason why this continues to happen? Thank you.

@Adulwulf77 I have seen others report this with AEW on forums, but It hasn't been listed as an official known issue. It's likely there is a small communication hiccup. While checking the details of the transactions, I only see it listed once. It can take 24-48 hours to fully populate, so I'll circle back tomorrow. If we can confirm the double purchase on the bill, I can help get this resolved.

Same issue, for me tonight, with AEW worlds end.... I ordered and headed to work, hoping it would be recorded when I got home, but nothing and it wouldn't allow me to manually record it 😞 so I paid 50$ for nothing I can watch.

@user_2a4kv6 Thank you for reaching out on the Xfinity Community Forums. Do you currently subscribe to our X1 DVR service or our X1 Cloud DVR Lite service? A little background on the DVR types, Our full fledge X1 DVR service comes with 150 hours of DVR recording and our X1 Cloud DVR Lite is 20 hours of cloud recording and usually included for no additional charge in your Xfinity Video subscription. Do you by chance know which one you are subscribed to?

Hello @Luzan8 Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are happy to help with your DVR concerns. Does this happen with all your recordings or just this one PPV? I have a link that goes into how to record PPV events https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-ordering-a-pay-per-view-event. What date did this happen?
