I've started having issues with going to watch a show I recorded using the Xfinity streaming app on my iPhone but it shows only part of the show recorded, like 15-20 min. So then I would go to the On Demand section to try and watch it from there but same thing is showing. But if I go home and pull up the recorded show on my DVR then I can access the entire show. It's not happing with all shows. I've had it happen with Blacklist and Designated Survivor. So frustrating.Sorry for the frustrating experience. It sounds like your Cloud DVR recordings are getting truncated which can happen if there is a failure due to capacity or other issues at the time of recording (cDVR recordings are separate from those on your physical DVR).
When you go to On Demand and click "Watch" the app and website will automatically select the Cloud DVR recording if there is one. You can turn this off in settings (looks like a gear icon) under "Chose best option to watch". That will then allow you to select from the various formats available for the program in On Demand (HD, SD, in-home only, TV Go, and etc.).

@ComcastDan I don't seem to have that setting. could you give the full path to the menu item?
adding.. don't let the length of on-demand recordings lead you to believe that not all of it recorded. On-demand on Comcast doesn't have the correct 'meta-data' (entered wrong by Comcast when on-demand asset is added to the system). Comcast will take (hour show example) the 41 or 42 minutes shown go the normal hour by adding/inserting commercials.
Here's the web link to that option:

ty for the reply, I realize now I was thinking of the set top box menu system.
