Why Does DirecTV Record Only Five Shows at Once? [2025]

Why can you only record 5 shows at once on DirecTV? Are there any services that offer unlimited individual recordings at the same time? Please give me some examples.

Why does DirecTV record only five shows at once? This is because DirecTV uses local storage instead of cloud-based storage. Therefore, it's the storage capacity limits the number of DirecTV recordings at once.

Are there any services that offer unlimited individual recordings at the same time? Yes, YouTube TV uses cloud-based storage and allows recording of as many shows as you want. One thing to note is that it will hold these recordings for up to 9 months.
