Geez, there is a lot of bad information here. Yes you can do it. You need the Direct TV app on your mobile device and a HR44 or newer DVR at home. You don't need AT&T wireless or their Uverse TV. You do need an internet connection to your DVR and a connection to your device. You can either download or stream, or download remotely and then watch. I'm sitting here streaming a non downloaded show to my tablet as I type this.
You are watching a streaming show from Directv not a show that has been recorded on your DVR. You can watch Directv live or you can watch shows streamed from DVR, but you can't play recorded shows from your DVR. To do that would mean your DVR would be uploaded the video over your home network and then streaming it to you. You can unplug your DVR when you leave the house and you would still be able to do what you are doing as you are doing it directly between your mobile device and Directv. Your home DVR is not playing a role it in.
