Remotely viewing DirecTV dvr?
I thought I heard/saw an ad that said you could view your recorded programs remotely from your PC or mobile. I don't see any way to do this on the DirecTV website or app. Is this possible, or am I jus...

Mobile ?, got an unlimted mobile data plan ?
might want to take that direcTV dvr box with you in the RV
I can't take the box with me. Mine are all networked together and they won't function if any piece of the Borg collective is missing. Step one when it fires up is to check the satellite connection and call home to mommy, and then it checks for the master box. No traveling for our Borgs.
I'll live without the DVR content. We're spoiled enough as it is. Our OTA antennas are pretty good. Plus I can tether my laptop to my phone to connect to DirecTV for live programming, and then run HDMI out to the TV. This will get us the Super Bowl if we can't pull in the OTA channel.
One quirk is that DirecTV doesn't like you to view some PPV content on mobile or laptop. This last year our kids wanted to see UFC fights a couple of times. I had to buy them and stream them directly from UFC instead of from DirecTV. It was still cheaper and more comfortable than paying the cover charge & minimums to take the whole fam-damily to a bar to watch it.
First world problems.
Thanks for the input folks. Have a good evening.
