Why are my Youtube DVR shows turning into VOD ?

[Ali Gator]

So here's my problem over the past few months I hope someone can help me with...

Last November I finally 'cut the cord' and became more financially responsible - going with internet service, and YouTubeTV (of all the streamers, they seemed to have the best selection / value for me). In the end, I'm saving about $75 a month from traditional cable, which makes me happy. 

I was very happy that YTTV offered DVR service, and any show you DVR'd would be saved for nearly a year (I think 10 months?) in "your library".  I prefer DVRing every show I'm interested in, rather than watch live, so that way I can FF through the commercials. 

Over the past few months, I've noticed an increasing amount of shows I record don't always show up in my library after recording.  That's OK - they show up within a day or so. I go to hit 'play' and instead of DVR, the episode I've recorded comes up as Video On Demand, instead. No other option is available to me. So I'm back to sitting through the endless commercials included with VoD.

I know if I add any show to my 'library list' that hasn't aired yet may come up as VoD (if it's already available that way), but this is not the case with what I've been experiencing. The most recent issue I've been having is with the FX series on Aaron Hernandez, which airs every Tuesday night at 10 pm EST. (I set my DVR for this series a week before it was to begin - every Tuesday night it says it's recording, but the next day when it's available, my only option is VoD.) 

Anyone else having this problem ?  Any solutions available? Am I doing something wrong ? 

Thanks guys !!
