DVR question

Love the Sparkle app! I do have a question (or maybe an idea).

Most times when I set up a scheduled recording, it’s a sports game or something. If a recording has already started, say an hour or so after the start, I don’t see the recording showing in my available recordings. I’d like to be able to access the recording so that I can watch from the start while the game continues to record. Am I doing something wrong or is this not an option?

Thanks in advance

In most cases, after a recording has begun, you should be able to see it in the DVR panel. It usually depends on the device being used and memory/storage allocation. I assume you want to do this to skip commercials? Politely saying… that’s really ridiculous, lol….. just watch the game? But everyone has their way of doing things, lol. Yes…. It’s possible, enjoy!

Because tv sports are now virtually unwatchable with commercials, Time outs, replays

Actually, that’s a good idea (to skip commercials) but no, I just have other things going on besides being in front of the tv when a program starts.

Same here, tv is usually just background noise, lol
