DirecTV previews its iPad remote app: no streaming, but very customizable
iPad remote apps are the new Netflix streaming -- any DVR worth its salt has to have one and DirecTV isn't going to let Comcast, FiOS, Dish and TiVo lord over it anymore. It's launched a preview page for a new remote app "coming soon" that looks like it could challenge for the title with plenty of customizable options and ability to display information from multiple sources at once. The home screen, pictured above can tell you about what you're watching, what's on your favorite channels and keep tabs on current sports scores all at once. All the usual remote control stuff comes natural, as well as local or remote DVR management just like its mobile app. We'll wait until it comes out to pass judgement but clearly the company has been watching the competition and seeing where it can improve. Now, where's that DirecTiVo?DirecTV previews its iPad remote app: no streaming, but very customizable originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 23 Feb 2011 19:09:00 EDT.

You can't set recordings on the go, you can't stream your live TV or DVR recordings... this seems pretty pointless to me. That's why I love being a DISH Network customer and employee... with DISH I can do everything this app can on my iPad, but I can also watch my live TV and recordings from wherever I'm at in the world. It's amazing. If you're looking for the best prices AND the latest in technology... then I highly suggest checking DISH out.
