We are here to help, @RiclunAol.

 

Thank you to @skeeterintexas for the useful information.

 

As he stated, you can not watch recordings from your DVR on the U-verse app. You can only watch live TV and On Demand on the app.

 

Let us know if have any other questions or concerns.

Recorded programs I’d like to manage would be local news.  There are other (Edited per community guidelines)utions to this as well.     

My suggestion is whatever decision you ultimately make shouldn’t be based at all on the app because it was an afterthought and att never really stood behind it.  It’s there to use and if it works, great, but have a problem and you’re (Edited per community guidelines). Cheers.
