Whole Home DVR & Series Manager

[Kitbear]

My whole home DVR setup inlcudes a HR20, HR21, and HR22. The only issue I have is that you don't seem to be able to control the series manager of one DVR from one of the others. I have looked through the forum, to no avail.

Does DirecTV plan on enhancing the product so that you are able to manage all series from any of a multiple DVR setup?

I don't believe that capability exists, yet. I'm hoping DirecTV adds this ability soon because it would be handy to manage recordings on other DVRs!

It does not exist, but we've all been asking for it. There is a poll at the other site, so hopefully Direct is watching.

FYI, if you have an H2x then you can from it.

Hopefully, a future update will alow this between HR2xs.

Hopefully they will update the smart phone apps as well. The app a wonderful tool for setting recordings on different DVR's, but it seems silly that this option doesn't exist on the DVR software.

From an H (non-dvr) receiver you can schedule recordings, by I don't think you can manage the series manager, scheduler, etc. Just schedule recordings - if nothing else is already scheduled on both tuners.

I would like this function too.

Yes, all you can do is set up recordings and delete them. No to do list or manage recordings.

It does seem they are tweaking the service. I originally complained that one couldn't determine which DVR the recordings were on. Now you can.

 

[Primus]

how do you do that?

 

[gadgtfreek]

When you click on the recording, in your list, on the screen you'd click to start playing it back, it says the "name" of the DVR it is on (the name you've given it).

On the List there should be Brackets "[ ]" around the name(s) of the other DVRs.
