No, but you can download programs before you leave to your tablet but not the laptop and yes you can use the app to setup recordings but not to delete them.

Unfortunately not anymore. That feature was turned off, supposedly because it wasn't working as intended. Perhaps they will release it again in the future.

You can stream some content through the website or app as that is what is on the account (not the DVR itself).

If you have a 2nd generation Genie (HR44) or later, you can copy recordings to a smartphone or tablet for up to 30 days. An option if you will not have good internet access. Will be viewable on the mobile device only, not able to cast to a TV.

Hi there, @pappy3!

 

As @shannon02 and @Juniper stated, you can stream through the app and website as well as download programs to your tablet. If you have any other questions or concerns, let us know.

 

Thanks for reaching out!
