Schedule DVR Recordings

You can create your own library of on demand content by recording shows to your DVR. Anyone who subscribes to Sling gets 50 hours of free DVR storage. 

If you upgrade to Unlimited DVR, you can also enable Replays, a feature that automatically saves top shows, movies, and sports on a rolling basis, so you can catch up on the top content without setting up recordings.
