DVR records but not play (is blocked)

[smachado]

Hi,
I have a directv DVR that i bought from a second person not directly to directv, i can use the record function of the dvr but when i try to see the program i recorded it shows a message and dont let me see anithing recorded ( the message is "buscando contenido autorizado" searching for athorized content) then tell me if i want to delete or not the program.

I supose is blocked some way, anybody knows how to unblock this feature an use it.

Thanks a lot,

I'm not sure how it works in South America but here (US) you need to call & have the DVR/card authorized to your account (which may be a whole other problem if you bought leased equipment from a 3rd party) & you need to have DVR service added to your package (if you don't already have it).
