DirecTV Streaming BYOD DVR function

I see various discussions/comments regarding the DVR function for BYOD. Does the DVR function come along with the subscription or are there additional charges?

Remote channel changing issues

I just received the new Gemini dongle receiver yesterday and everything works fine but I cannot channel jump. In other words I can only change channels with guide or channel lever control.

How to Stop Series Recording via Browser or the App

I am away from home for several weeks, and wish to stop the "series recording" of a particular show. It was possible at home, using the Gemini box, but I cannot find a way to do that via browser access on my laptop, nor via the DirecTV Stream app on my iPad. Thanks for any pointers.
