You cannot. That is not a U-verse feature. (Unless you have some sort of TV card in your PC that you can connect to the output of one of your TV Receivers. I figure that's not what you meant.)

A. The ability to watch recordings remotely (computer/phone/tablet) has never been an option. Unless you were using a Sling box (referenced above) you were watching programs from the On Demand Library or live. You can (could) control your DVR recordings, but not WATCH DVR content.
B. All access to Uverse was moved to the app in Nov. and is compatible with the following devices:
This includes scheduling recordings, watching live programming and content from the OD library. Read more HERE

The watching live, but not recorded applies to uverse.com? As Jeffer says, it is not currently a u-verse feature. In the future, who knows. Surely, someday.
But, if your PC has a video input card to accept any of the outputs of an STB, it can display what is playing on the STB. You need to control it directly with the STB remote or with the PC using an IR blaster & control software such as microsoft media room.
But, you probablbly want to do it at a distance. For this you need a slingbox or other such equipment (as MT aludes to).
A slingbox has the video input to accept the video output from the STB & an IR blaster to control the STB & an internet connection so yo can access it from any computer (brower) that has internet access.

I've noticed that I also can't watch my local network affiliated channels on my PC either, it's a deal breaker for me, I'm going back to Dish, the Hopper has a built-in SlingBox that integrates with the reciever, and has no restrictions on what pprogramming I can watch on my PC, tablet, or phones. Basically, all of the cable and satellite providers charge about the same monthly charge, so why not get what you want for what you're paying?

You are getting what you pay for on Uverse, they never stated you could do what you want to. 😉

at&t claims you can watch anything, anytime, anywhere on all of your devices, mobilizing your world in 1080I, guessing nobodys noticing that either, problem is you cant and it is false advertisement.

The word "recordings" or "DVR" is never mentioned.

The only way I have heard being able to watch recordings on a computer is to get Slingbox. I wish we could just watch them without jumping through the hoops.

When I had mythtv in the late 90's with cable I had this feature. Why can't uverse implement this feature 20 years later.
It isn't a hard item to do technically. Why doesn't att implement this feature.
I should be able to watch my dvr from anything that has a browser. Please don't use the excuse the IPAD doesn't play flash.
Not having this feature in inexcusable.
