Satellite dvr recordings do not show on direct tv app

I have a satellite dvr setup and I want to watch my recorded shows on my patio.  I have the DirectTV app and I am able to login but the DVR Recordings tab shows my receiver but no recorded shows.  I have setup and tested the wireless connection of my receiver to the internet and I have confirmed that the DVR listed on the DirectTV app as the connected DVR match the receiver's id #.  I can see the recorded shows on my DVR but not on my app.

Incidentally the website stream.directv.com doesn't even show the tab for DVR Recordings.

AFAIK DTV hasn't added watching the recordings from the DVR to the app yet but some posts say they can watch the DVR recordings on the app.

You'll need to link the DVR to opt in for DVR streaming. Simply open the app, and a prompt will appear inviting you to set up DVR streaming — select Link DVR. Need more help? Contact us DIRECTV Customer Service - Phone Support & Chat
