Watch a DVR recording

1. To watch recorded programs saved to your DVR, go to the main menu at the bottom of your screen.
2. From the menu, select My library.
   
   
   
3. Under My library, there are several color-blocked tiles related to DVR.
   
   • Recordings shows all recordings saved on the cloud. Tap any of them to watch or download them or adjust recording options.
     
     
     
   • Scheduled shows the next two weeks' worth of scheduled recordings. Tap any of them to adjust recording options.
     
     
     
   • Downloads shows all recordings downloaded to that particular device for offline viewing.
     • Note: Each download can only exist on one device at a time. Additionally, each downloaded program must be returned from the Xfinity Stream app so that it can be viewed at home through your X1 TV Box.
   • Select an episode, then tap Watch. If the recording has been watched previously, you'll have the option to Resume or Start Over.
     
     

Note: To play back a DVR recording, your mobile device will need to have a strong internet connection.

Download a recorded program

3. Tap Watch to play back the recording.
4. To remove the program from your device, tap Return. Canceling or deleting a download starts the check-in process to let others in your household stream or download the content.
5. You'll see the Return Downloaded Recording message: "Are you sure? This recording will be removed from this device and returned to your DVR to watch on TV and other devices."
6. Tap Continue to confirm.
