If you cancel HBO, what happens to HBO programs on your DVR?

[mstrg325]

I have several True Bloods I am behind on but I don't really want HBO anymore.

If I cancel HBO, will I still be able to watch the True Bloods that are on my DVR?

I "think" that they lock out; but I am not 110% sure on that.

I don't know about HBO, but Showtime and Starz programs I had recorded were still viewable after I dropped those premiums.

They are still available.

They only seem to lockout the VOD stuff when you drop the pack.

the DVR doesnt care if you subscribe to the channel or not. Heck I still have some programs from recent freeviews (including a hockey game) that play fine

as noted, VOD is probably locked out

I'm not with DirecTV but Iceberg is absolutely correct. "The DVR doesn't care". I never paid for HBO and still have in my DVR an HBO documentary about Ted Williams from when Dish had an HBO free preview. I believe that's the same despite the service that you subscribe to.

I also had episodes of Terriers that were watchable in my Dish DVR while FX was dropped for the last month. I bet it's the same as canceling a premimum service, and you paid to view the episodes that you did DVR.

This is good to know. VoD is likely where I got my view from.
