Directv app

When will the Directv app let you download shows from your DVR so you can watch them offline? The app used to let you do this. I once saw a comment that functionality might come back in July or August, but it’s now October.

Can you view DVR while on vacation?

Yes - the DVR content is accessible anywhere using the DirecTV app on any supported device. 

It is unlikely they will ever offer offline/download capabilities since I’m sure that would violate their contracts with the content providers (networks).

You probably won't be able to access DirecTV Stream outside of the USA. But give it a try.

Mr. Iitzdog911, maybe you can answer this for me. If I upgrade my service will I retain my unlimited DVR ? Thx again

@doo4usc44 OK, almost anywhere. They are only licensed for the content in the US, so they block access from outside.  Using a VPN service to get around that is not allowed, but if you have one, you might get away with it.

And generally if you are just changing the package you subscribe to, it doesn’t affect the rest of your service.  But you’re best off checking with Customer Service - no one out here could say definitively.   (I don’t even completely trust Customer Service’s answers - if I “talk” to then, it’s generally by chat so I can keep a transcript just in case.)

I tried to talk to them, I’m not sure which language they spoke but it wasn’t mine. I winged it, upgraded and got my unlimited too. The wife is (Edited per community guidelines)$$$$
