Still looking for an answer-extended play

I just came on this forum, looking for answers, as so many people are, to why DIRECTV does not allow for the option of adding 5 to 60 minutes when recording a show. As clearly stated multiple times this is an option available on practically every other available Satellite or streaming service. I’m just looking for a direct answer from “DIRECTV” on why they aren’t Offering a solution, which is clearly available to the masses.

I noted when I was researching that the “work around“ was to click on a live show while watching it and you will get the option of extending it for up to 30 minutes; however, the whole idea of recording is so that I don’t have to try and watch the show when it’s on. I am often not home or not available to watch the shows. I like when they are airing. Fall, winter, and early spring shows on all the major networks are preempted by a variety of sports events. This has been going on for years and the problem is not new. Nor is the solution. The solution is out there. I would appreciate a clear answer from an authorized spokesperson of DIRECTV.
