                                <p>DirecTV Now has ended the beta test of its cloud DVR and, according to one published report, is preparing to launch 120-hour version of the product as an add-on service.</p><p><strong>UPDATED:</strong> In May, parent company AT&T announced that it would debut an add-on cloud DVR for its virtual pay TV service that delivered 100 hours of storage for $10 a month. However, enthusiasts blog BestAppleTV.com <a href="https://www.bestappletv.com/news/first-on-batv-directv-now-to-soon-offer-up-to-120-hours-cloud-dvr/">is reporting</a> that DirecTV Now will now offer multiple tiers of its add-on cloud DVR ranging from 50 hours of storage to 120 hours. </p><p>An AT&T rep denied that the company's DVR add-on plan has moved beyond the initial May announcement of a 100-hour, $10-a-month add-on. </p><p>The company recently began <a href="https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/directv-now-is-downgrading-users-from-100-hours-of-dvr-storage-to-20-hours/">notifying customers</a> participating in the beta test that, starting on August 29, their free 100-hour True Cloud DVR beta will be converted to the 20-hour version that will be a standard offering on all DirecTV Now subscriptions going forward.</p><p>For those customers, AT&T said it will erase any content more than 30 days old. It will keep up to 20 hours of the most recently recorded video.</p><p>Related: DirecTV Now Seeking Cloud DVR Testers</p><p>Speaking during AT&T’s first quarter earnings call in April, AT&T CFO John Stephens said new features like cloud DVR and pay per view will help enhance the margins of DirecTV Now, which analysts suspect loses money in its current iteration.</p><p>“These new services will add new revenue streams and help counter some of the revenue and margin pressure we are dealing with,” Stephens explained.</p><p>AT&T launched its cloud DVR beta in the third quarter of last year. It’s unclear as to how many subscribers it hooked into the program. </p>
