CanI watch my DVR while I am traveling?

I do some traveling and record some of my favorite shows. Can I use the Directv App on my ipad to watch a show I have on my home DVR? I tried to do this, but it says I need to delete a device. So after I did that, it still tells me "We couldn't register your device. Please try again (100)." Even though I have an open device slot, I still can't connect. I have reset my DVR at home to make sure it is connected to the internet. Also, how can I manage which devices are registered? Through a browser login to Directv Account? Please any info would be very helpful!

No, you can not stream shows from your DVR over the Internet. That capability was removed. You need to download shows from your DVR to your iPad at home before you travel and that requires having a Genie. If you have an older non Genie DVR, that’s not possible.
