. All current and upcoming airings will be recorded and added to your Library.
- If you add a program to your library while an episode is in progress, your recording will start from the time you added the program. If a rerun of the episode airs, your partial recording will be replaced by a full episode.

Note: You can't record content from NFL RedZone just by adding a specific team, league, or game to your YouTube TV library. You’ll need to add NFL RedZone to your library so that the full 8-hour block will be recorded.
