How To Watch A Recorded Show On Directv

So, there I was, Sunday night, ready to binge-watch the latest episode of my favorite show. I'd been looking forward to it all week, you know how it is. I grab my remote, point it at the TV, and... nothing. Zip. Zilch. I'd forgotten to set my DVR to record it. Facepalm moment, right?

But hey, no worries. I'm a tech-savvy guy, I've got this. I know I can watch it on DirecTV's app. But how? I've never done it before. If you're in the same boat, don't worry, I've got you covered. Let's dive in.
