Title says it all, really.
Yo, Oslo.
Good question. Are you talking about setting it from a smartphone app? I think you should be able to do it, I think I’ve even done it once or twice before, but then the DirectV apps went to hell and truthfully I never went back to see if it was ever fixed. As I recall, there was a fair amount of functionality built into these apps in theory, but in practice little of it worked like it should have.
Like I said, I never went back and tried to figure it out. It might have been something like a network setting or it might have been a poor app implementation. Maybe I’ll try it again this weekend and see if it works or not.
I don’t have directv so I don’t know about any directv-specific options. But a Slingbox will let you watch and control your dvr from any network.
Why don’t you ask your provider? My provider, Videotron, allows me to program recordings from anywhere in the world that links to the I-net.
you can schedule it to record shows but u cannot watch programs you have recorded unless you are on home network. If anyone knows different please let me know
