Problems recording a Directv Streaming program to the online DVR
Have had Directv Premier (satellite) at this address for almost 2 decades, with two receivers (H20-100(no DVR!!!) & H24-200) and dealt with the weather blackouts Recently replaced a TV with one that has the Google TV system in it, so decided to try Streaming. Downloaded the app and logged in and all is good. Now the issue, was trying to record a program, to Directv's online DVR, when in streaming mode (from the app on the TV) and the system says, it is attempting to contact the H20-100 receiver, to set it up. No DVR in it, so its not going to work. Have clicked Options, during the program record set up, to select a different recording "site" and get a blank list. My account knows the two receivers and hopefully, that they do not have a DVR AND shouldn't I automatically have access to my 20hr supply of online DVR recording, from Directv Streaming? Going to My Library, in the app, MY RECORDING, Find you recordings here is empty.
So how do I set up the Directv Streaming, to record to to my online DVR?

shannon02, "the online DVR is only provided with the streaming service", with a streaming account and not with a satellite account, even though a satellite account will allow one to stream (most (see my other thread)) channels or shows(???) to their "device".
Does that pretty much sum it up? Wish Directv would have this specifically spelled out somewhere.

DirecTV (satellite) has no online DVR service. That is a function of the service called DIRECTV STREAM.
So online DVR is just for the streaming-only service, not your satellite account. Hope that clears it up.

Thank you, everyone
And Directv, the make up of your various services, could have been defined (and posted!), a bit more clearly, which includes DVR usage and received channels (my other post).
