Watch programs from the beginning

It is fairly new and only available on some shows. 72 hour rewind will be available on some shows as well it will be in the on demand channel. In the guide the show will have a curved arrow next to the name of it and that indicates it can be started over. Fast forward and record may not be used on some shows started over.

 

Just showed up today on my device. Only appeared for one show at first then I saw more and more populate with the arrow through the day.

 

Yes, new, and it seems it's mostly in the 300's. You can't FF or RW, bummer.

 

you can't record either.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, all it really does is link to existing on-demand content, correct? It appears to download the content and only store it temporarily for playback.

 

Correct.

Correct.

Correct.

'72 Hour Rewind' and 'Restart' were made available on 5/21 (IIRC)..as a solution to the 4 day waiting period until VOD is made available by content providers. During that interim, there are limitations, as mentioned above. Not sure if Pause will work, either. Hopefully we'll get some feedback. The description mentioned the viewer must view the show (or movie) in it's entirety.

Perhaps this is D*'s answer to the LookBack feature available via some cable operators.

Correct, Spot on!

 

not necessarily

 

This feature needs the bugs worked out. If I hit "exit," then it deletes the recorded program. I can start it over from the beginning, but then I cant ff or rw. It's more annoying than useful at this point.

 

That is the "rub" is not being recorded, it is being streamed

 

Is it being streamed from the web? Or is it stored in the DTV partition of my Genie's hard drive?

You can once you get back to where it was when you tuned to the station in the first place. But not the beginning part.

 

Nope its not from on demand content.

 

Streamed from DIRECTV.

 

Via my internet connection? Or is there some cool new method of delivering this content via the satellite?

 

OF course!

 

I figured, but I just couldn't get it out of my mind that DIRECTV had figured out a way to do it via satellite so even those without an internet connected DVR could use this feature.

 

Unplug your Internet connection for a moment.

 

I saw thar message before, but it was only when I tuned to something I was already recording, or if a tuner was already active on that channel. (Mini client was tuned to it)
