Cannot download from DVR to app
Getting so frustrated with this. Cannot find an answer anywhere and I can tell I'm not the only one with this issue. On my registered device, I cannot connect to my DVR from the DTV app that is connected to my wifi in my house. All devices are on the same wifi. Still doesn't think I'm at home, so this "take anywhere" option is useless. What am I doing wrong? Yes, I have redownload the app and reset my Genie.

Not sure why this is marked as Solved, because it is not. I deleted and reinstalled the program, that's didnt do it. In the setup of the program I restarted my Genie, resetup my internet connection to my Genie and the app still cannot find it. I entered my IP address manually and it still doesnt work. This is not solved.

Hello @Mytwinsdad
Is your genie in mobile device connected to the same network?
Both devices have to be connected to the same network (example if your genie is on 5g connection your mobile device should be on the same connection) are both your devices on the same network connection?
You can go over these steps to make sure everything is connected right.

Hello @Mytwinsdad,
Have you attempted clearing you app data cache on your mobile device?
Can you also attempt to reset your password, uninstall and reinstall once more to see if this solves the issue?
Once done, please let us know if this helped resolve your issue.

Turn on Mobile DVR in the Genie & The App
Press Menu. Go to Settings & Help > Settings > System Info & Test
Select More System Info and scroll down to Mobile DVR.
One of the following should populate: HR44, HR54 or H44How to connect - In-Home registration
Enable Auto Prepare: Go to setting screen > Activate the client 2. Proceed to the settings screen 3. Select mobile DVR 4. Turn on the mobile DVR auto prepare option.
1st. My menu doesn't have an option for "more system info"
My options are: Run System Test or Genie Info.
2nd. Selecting Genie Info, I scroll down to "Mobile DVR" and next to Device it says "Internal" and next to Service it says "Active".
No place is there any option for In-home registration.
Is there a newer Genie than the HR54/500 that I currently have?
