Whole room and PPV

Hi,

 

I did a quick search but did not see an answer - have Whole room, ordered a PPV movie (Robin Hood (Unrated)) from my DVR and it does not appear in the list on the ohter HD receivers.  Just confirming this is expected - I see everything else I have recorded.

 

I would have enjoyed, obviously, to be able to watch it from all my receivers.

 

Thanks

I believe you have to watch or at least start watching the program on the DVR on which it is recorded before it will appear on the remote playlists.

Spot on.  Specifically you have to click the link that confirms the purchase on the PPV movie on the DVR it was recorded on.  That will appear immediately when you select play.  You don't have to actually watch the movie, but that does start your 24 hour availability window.

That is it - thanks, interesting that I can't do it from the other HD receivers - but if that is the biggest problem in my life I am doing pretty well 🙂

 

Thanks again
