I see several others mention it, but I haven't seen a resolution to this issue.

I have purchased the DVR license from SD and I can see and record just fine from their app within Kodi, but the native PVR addon will only show 4 hours of EPG and will not show recordings. I did install the recording engine on my brand new Synology NAS. Once again, works flawlessly through the HDHR app. When I make the switch to remove the MS HTPC from my network, it would have a much better wife acceptance factor if the native PVR functions worked like they do with the WMC PVR addon.

edit: My original statement was incorrect, you can get the full guide data without a lot of hassle, but it's still not ideal IMO

I've been working on my own add-on for HDHR (not my purpose for posting - not an advertisement!) and have found that Silicondust's statement about 2 weeks of guide data for subscribers is true, but slightly misleading from a programmability perspective. The standard bulk-download guide data only has about 4 hours worth of information in it, this is what you're seeing in Kodi. You can also get guide data per channel, which gives you access to the full information but it has to be done in a loop as it returns only a handful of data at a time. The penalty is network traffic and time -- a significant amount of time in my experience. The bulk data is very fast to retrieve, cycling through hundreds of channels and executing a bunch of requests for each is not.

Unfortunately, getting Silicondust to deliver more guide data with the bulk data request would be the simplest way to solve it for everyone. Even if they just increased it to a full day from the 4 hours that would make it a lot better for the third party applications. If they provided a way to request a specific time range rather than just a start time for the channel query that would help too since it could become one query per channel.

Oh yeah -- accessing HDHR DVR recordings would require the PVR Client to work with the HDHomeRun RECORD engine, which not everyone has, but programmatically wasn't difficult. I don't think this is within the scope the author of this PVR client had in mind, but I certainly cannot speak for him/her
