Will the Whole Room service allow me to schedule a recording from one DVR onto another?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I thought I read a statement that inferred that you can actual schedule a recording on another DVR in a another room in the house...is this true?  I would imagine it would work similar to scheduling a recording from the DTV website listings.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Currently no, you can only schedule recording remotely from a non-DVR HD receiver. One would hope that DVR-to-DVR scheduling is on the list of features to add, but only DirecTV knows what's on that list...

sungam,

Thank you very much for your reply.  I too hope that DirecTV has the "obvious" feature on their near term list of deliverables....

Long as we're compiling a WHDS Wish List.....I would like them to enable the Yellow remote button(I think the Red is for Delete, the Blue is for Keep Until I Delete and the Green is for On Demand....I don't think the Yellow is being used yet) while I am in my Playlist to "toggle" between a "combined WHDS Playlist" and a "just this DVR Playlist". I'm "kinda" missing just being able to see just what I've recorded on one of the two HD DVR's I have networked without going through all of the trouble of going to Multi-Room and turning off Share Playlist(or scrolling through the content one recording at a time and looking in the description for a "remote DVR location"). A one-button "toggle" would sure be handy!!!!!

Ahhhemm, dj?  Knock knock?  While in your play list, press the yellow button.  Scroll down to "filter by playlist".  Viola.

Thanks for getting that change implemented so quickly:0)

I already asked engineering about dvr schedular from one HDDVR to another HDDVR the word unfortunatly is no

 

 

My thought was maybe some one could create a tv app that would do this instead... any thoughts ??
