Hulu’s DVR (Digital Video Recorder) feature allows users to record and save shows and movies to watch later. This feature is handy for people who can’t watch their favorite programs live or would like to watch shows after they’ve aired. Here’s how to use Hulu’s DVR feature:
1. Check to See If the Show or Movie Is Eligible for Recording
Not all shows and movies on Hulu can be recorded. Look for the “Add to My Stuff” button to see if a program can be added to your DVR. If you’re not sure whether a show or movie is eligible, search for the program in the Hulu app or website, and hover your cursor over the episode or movie title. If it’s eligible, you’ll see a plus sign next to “Add to My Stuff.”
2. Add Show or Movie to Your DVR
To add a show or movie to your DVR, click on the “Add to My Stuff” button. This will save the program to your account. Whenever a new episode or a new instance of the movie becomes available, it will automatically be recorded.
3. Manage DVR Recordings
Once you’ve added a show or movie to your DVR, you can manage your recordings by going to the “My Stuff” section of your Hulu account. Here, you can view all of your saved programs and delete them if you no longer wish to record certain shows or movies.
4. Watch Recorded Shows and Movies
To watch your recorded shows and movies, go to the “DVR” section of the Hulu app, and select the show or movie that you’d like to watch. You can also select individual episodes from this section.
5. Switch Off Auto-Expiring Notifications
By default, Hulu’s DVR feature automatically deletes some recorded programs after a certain period. If you want to keep your recorded shows or movies indefinitely, you’ll need to turn off the auto-expiring notifications. To switch them off, go to the “Settings” section of your account, and select the “DVR” option. Here, you can select to keep your recorded programs for as long as you like.
In conclusion, Hulu’s DVR feature is an excellent way to keep up with your favorite shows and movies. By following these simple steps, you can easily record, manage, and watch your favorite programs. Just be aware that not all shows and movies are eligible for recording, and some may expire after a while, so it’s always good to check on them regularly. Happy watching!
