Laptop

I have HR54/200. Is there a way to watch live and/or  recorded shows on laptop? If so please send directions how.

Thanks.

Some channels can be streamed on your computer using your DirecTV account credentials. But recordings cannot be viewed on a computer.

As mentioned, the best you can do is stream some channels via their website/app using your DirecTV login credentials. No way to view DVR recordings on a PC.

OK Thanks. I was thinking the 'play list' on computer may of been the same as 'recorded list' on the HR54 box. I was thinking there was away to save/transfer recordings to a laptop.

Thanks!

Sadly, no. Once upon a time there was an app called DirecTV2PC that provided that capability, but it's long dead.
