Record on DTV app when away from home

I searched but didn't really get a concrete answer, I have satellite based service with the DTV app, when we are away at beach I can watch the dtv app on firetv, my question is am I able to record while away from home via cloud? Or is it just able to record through my homebased DVR's?

Hi, disco44. No, you can't record via Cloud. You can only schedule recordings from the Program Guide or by using the Search button. Fatmih, DIRECTV Community Specialist

You should be able to setup recordings to the DVR by logging into you account or the app.

Okay just to sum up, while away from homebase I can schedule recordings to my DRV's via the DTV app at home but cannot access them to watch while away from homebase?

AFAIK DTV hasn't added streaming from the DVR to the app yet.

You can schedule and watch recordings using the DIRECTV App both at home and on the go. When you're out of home, some content may not be available for recording. Mark, DIRECTV Community Specialist

You can schedule recordings from the app (when it works).

You you cannot watch what is recorded on the DVR out-of-home.

If a recording is also available On Demand, that you might be able to watch on the app. This is not pulling it from the DVR itself.

Traditionally for those that have satellite service, the app does not allow casting/mirroring/air play to the TV. But with combing the app with DIRECTV STREAM service, that gets a bit blurred.
