Default Behavior
By default, a DVR is not authorized
for stand-alone mode. As a result,
DVRs cannot play recordings unless
they are connected to a DBDS
network. Because they must be
connected to the DBDS network to
play recordings, subscribers cannot
take DVRs with them when away
from home and use the DVRs to
watch recordings.
When this feature is disabled, the
SARA client allows the titles of
recordings that have been blocked
by the Parental Control feature to
show in the Recorded List,
Scheduled Recordings, Recorded
Program Options, and IPG screens.
Subscriber Impact
Custom Behavior
When customized, DVRs are
authorized for stand-alone mode. As a
result, subscribers are able to play
DVR recordings without an active,
two-way connection to the DBDS
network. These subscribers are able to
take their DVRs with them when
away from home and use the set-tops
to watch recordings.
When customized, the SARA client
prevents the titles of any recordings
that have been blocked by the Parental
Control feature from showing in the
Recorded List, Scheduled Recordings,
Recorded Program Options, and IPG
screens. Instead, Title Blocked
displays for the title of the recording.
