Unusable DVR Sporting Event recordings

The X1 DVR records sports events by program ID without honoring local-market availability, language, or blackout status, resulting in unusable recordings.


Can we please get modern recording options? 


I have my DVR set up to record certain sports teams.  But sometimes it will record the game on the NBA TV or NFL TV channel which is blacked out because the game is on the local market channel. So I get 3 hours of a message that says the game is not available on this channel. Last night it recorded a game on Telemundo so the broadcast was in Spanish.

The only options available to me are “Airing Type” which is Live games / Live events, and “Channels” which is the HD/SD option.

EmmexPlusbee Thank you for reaching out! When you select the local market channel for recording do you still have the blackout.
