The Playlist screen displays all your recorded programs. To
get to the Playlist screen directly, press LIST on the remote,
or press MENU and select Recordings, then Playlist. Titles
you have yet to view are shown in bright, white letters, while
viewed titles (partially or completely) are light grey.
The time, date and channel of each recorded program is
displayed to the right of the program title. Icons identifying
program status are displayed to the left of the program title
(for example, a circle K for Keep Until I Delete). See page 178
for a list of all the icons.
Highlighting a program title in the Playlist displays the
program description. If you press SELECT or INFO on a
program, an Info screen is displayed for the program that
offers several actions including Play, Keep, Delete and others.
Series programs are identified in the list with a folder icon.
For example, if you record a weekly comedy series, the title for
that series is shown with a folder icon. Press SELECT on the
series title to see the recorded episodes for that series. The
number of new (not viewed) programs and total programs for
each series is displayed to the right of the series name; for
example, "2 New/5 Total". Press PLAY on a series to play all
the episodes in the folder, in order from oldest to newest.

How do I get my hdmi to play off my laptop. I have it connected properly.
You cannot connect your laptop to a DirecTV Genie receiver using HDMI to watch programming. Laptops typically have HDMI output ports, not input ports, which prevents them from receiving video signals from the Genie receiver. Instead, you can watch DirecTV by logging into DirecTV Everywhere on your laptop.
