Remote PVR - Down? - Page 3 - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Is it possible to watch recorded programs on my PVR over the internet? Say I record something and I have some time to kill at work, can I access my PVR remotely and watch it?

If not does anyone know if this is a feature we can expect in the future?

@dynot, you can't do that today unless you use your own device like a Slingbox. Microsoft Mediaroom supposedly has that feature, but I'm not aware of anyone having implemented it. I think there may be licensing and copyright issues that prevent it from being implemented in Canada.

Thanks Doc...I figured there may be a copyright issue that would prevent that.

I guess now I can tell my boss that I've increased my productivity by not watching personal recordings during work hours! :-)
