Can you watch recorded Cowboy game tonight on Directv mobile?

[FLCowboyFan]

I'm not going to be able to watch the game live tonight. Does anyone know if I can watch the game on Directv mobile since I'm recording it and I'm on vacation? I'm hoping one of you have done this before. I'm worried I'm going to miss the game entirely.

I've been trying to get this to work myself and haven't had any luck whatsoever. Two things, number one, I believe you have to set it up and make sure your directv app recognizes all of your DVR's and it accepts ownership
of those. I'm not even sure I've ever been able to make that work even though I have a compatible Genie. The other thing, it looks like there is some kind of copyright issue with watching games live while they're being recorded. If I'm wrong and you end up getting it to work let me know because I've been trying to figure it out myself.

You need access to your DVR and I am not sure DTV does that.
I have DTV, but never tried that through the DTV mobile app.
I will try it now.

You will need to register your DVR on the DTV app. It says you can watch your shows you have recorded. But then says to download them.
It took awhile but the list of shows finally showed up.

I selected a show to watch without downloading and it worked. So you can watch a show, or download it to your phone or tablet, PC and watch it.
It took a little while, but it finally added the list of shows.

Do you have Verizon as a cellphone provider?
I am in the same situation. I'm visiting my mom, and she doesn't have any sports channels.
I have NFL Mobile on my phone but never installed it. I installed it and watched both the Ravens-Steelers and the Chiefs-Broncos games via cellphone. I'll also be staying another day because I'll be able to watch the Cowboys game tonight.

My brother installed NFL Mobile but because he didn't have Verizon, it wouldn't give him the "Watch Live" prompt like it gave me.

The other thing is even if you don't have Verizon, you can install NFL Mobile. You may have to troubleshoot a link that may have your service provider. It didn't have Comcast, which is what my brother uses.

Now that I know this, I may switch Sunday Ticket if I can't get it for free next year.

Anyway, hope this info was helpful. Good luck.

I've been able to watch shows that I've recorded on my mobile but I think the NFL games aren't available when I tried it before. I'm hoping I'm wrong. I've got att for cell service so I don't get NFL Mobile :-(

I think the NFL is trying to force you to buy their streaming service.
