When you choose the Resume option, you are taken to the last viewing spot. It’s a good way of continuing with a show that you had previously been watching.
You need to have paid the Explora access fee
That’s how to watch recorded programs on the DSTV Explora. It’s easy enough to do. The only reason why you are here is probably because you are new to the Explora and you are still navigating your way around it.
One thing to note is that you will not be able to access PVR functions on your decoder unless you have paid the Explora access fee. It’s something that we have talked about before.
It’s a fee that needs to be paid monthly. Without making your payments, your recordings will be frozen and you will not be able to watch them. So, that’s something to keep in mind when making your payments.
