Manage DVR online (not using an app)

I used to be able to manage my DVR online, not through an app. How do I get back to the manage online page that used to be served up by Yahoo? 

 

I will NOT grant ATT rights to my contacts, call info, photos, location, ect simply to use an app to manage my account -- I DON'T trust them to not vacuum up (more of) my personal info and sell it.

Sorry, all DVR management was moved to the app Nov. 2017.

Ok. Thanks for confirming.

 

Guess I have to suffer using the on TV search since I don't trust ATT with all the data they want to simply use an app. They have no reason to see my calls, location, photos, ect.

Storage
  • read the contents of your USB storage

I didn't check iOS since I don't have that type of device.

...And who knows, maybe someone has uverse with a different mobile provider and ATT is using the uverse app to scrape your data and sell it.
