Enabling a DVR

Manage your DVRs under the Player Settings allows DVRs to be enabled or disabled. The User Manual does not address this at all. As there are applications where what is displayed is opposite to the current status and is an indication to set that status and others are the other way around, exactly how does this work? I get different results when it displays my content.

 

When it displays "Enable DVR" does that mean it is already enabled or does it mean if I click on it that DVR will be enabled. When ALL4 DVRs are displaying "hide DVR from....." if I assume that means all are enabled, not everything is displaying. In some cases I nhave the same show twice (on different DVRs of course) but it is onlyu displaying twice. I did see this once where it showed it was there twice. Also where a show once displayed doesn't now and I haven't deleted it from my DVR yet. And if I change it so that ALL 4 DVRs say "Enable DVR" and assume none are enabled, it displays nothing on my list. Seems to be inconsistent.

 

The comment in the manual regarding the response time when a show may be being watched from another DVR - is that an exact scenario? Or is it that a show from the DVR from which you want to download is being watched from another DVR. Should it be off? Should the others be off?

 

All 4 DVRs are connected via ethernet to my router.

Best to start your own new thread using the "Create New Post" button on the main forum page.  Your problem may very well be different from the original poster's.    With a new thread you can provide more information about your equipment, location, and troubleshooting you've tried so far.  And this forum software makes it difficult to track or respond to folks that add onto someone else's thread.

It means that DVR is disabled.  When that window reads "Hide DVR from Directv Nomad" it means the DVR is emnabled.  Note that certain program tyopes are not eligible for Nomad.  No PPV, Cinema On Demand (VOD), 3D, Adult or Over the Air (OTA) not delivered via satellitewill be available on Nomad.

 

If you disable all DVR's all of the list should disappear also.
