DirecTV is really pushing hard to bring their DVR-scheduling service to the mobile space. Following on DirecTV’s recent launch of their web-based DVR control-interface, DirecTV has gone live with a bona fide iPhone application in the iTunes App Store.
The DirecTV iPhone app allows iPhone-toting DirecTV customers to control their home DVR (Digital Video Recorder) anywhere, anytime, with the iPhone. Users can search for shows, browse upcoming shows and set recording schedules for single episodes or an entire TV series.
DirecTV customers will need to be running a DirecTV Plus DVR, DirecTV Plus HD DVR or TiVo Series 2 DVR with 6.4a software in order to take advantage of the DirecTV iPhone application, but chances are you’re already using one of the required DVR boxes anyway. Users will also want to setup their online accounts before using the iPhone app.
If controlling your DirecTV DVR from afar with your iPhone sounds like something that might just come in handy, you’ll want to stroll on over to the iTunes App Store an download a free copy of DirecTV for iPhone. (iTunes link)
