DVR recordings not showing on Stream app

I can only see 6 newest recordings on the stream app! I am in my home, on my home network and can't see my recored shows, that were there yesterday and are showing on my DVR. I've done a sync from  my X1 box and uninstalled/reinstalled the app. Reset my modem and unplugged the dvr box, nothing helps.  I'm not paying hundreds of dollars for my shows to be held captive on the box. I want this fixed!

Hello, @user_klh95

Sorry for this inconvenience. May I ask do you have available storage on your DVR for additional recordings? Are one of your recording settings to hold a recording until available storage is needed? Did you download the recording on your DVR to the Stream app.

 

Download a recorded program
To download a recording directly to your mobile device, find the recording you want and tap Download. Downloading the program will save a local copy for future use.
Once the download is complete, your program will show as downloaded under the Downloads color tile. You can view completed recordings either in a list or as a gallery using the toggles in the upper-right corner. You can also filter by Most Recent or Alphabetical.
Tap Watch to play back the recording.
To remove the program from your device, tap Return. Canceling or deleting a download starts the check-in process to let others in your household stream or download the content.
You'll see the Return Downloaded Recording message: "Are you sure? This recording will be removed from this device and returned to your DVR to watch on TV and other devices."
Tap Continue to confirm.

Nothing is checked out, nothing is filtered. The shows just aren't on my app. I have 59 on the DVR!

I checked at the Xfinity store, I have DVR cloud in my bundle. He said there is no reason why they aren't showing up.

I also am only using 17% of my storage.
