Directv on LG TV

My housesitter is cyberphobic, so I need to only play Directv from my set-top box whenever she's here. When I set it up this way, it works fine until I choose to play a program that has been recorded on the Directv DVR. When I select which recording to play, the HDMI input changes and I get a "no signal" indication. Do I need an additional cable between the receiver and the TV for DVR playback?

Hi @rbecker, we're sorry you're having issues when trying to play DVR recordings. You don't need an extra cable, we recommend unplugging and re-plugging the HDMI cord. Please visit https://www.directv.com/support/article/000080800 for more info in fixing common issues with your DVR playlist. Christian, DIRECTV Community Specialist
