DirecTV iPhone application gets previewed

Well, wouldn't you know it -- there is a DirecTV iPhone application. The cats over at DBSTalk have had the privilege of toying with it, and they even assembled a lovely PDF with setup instructions and images of the show search, recording and show cards functionality. For iPhone lovers with DirecTV, there's absolutely no excuse to not check this out. Sadly, we're no closer to figuring out when it'll be available, but we're just relieved to know it'll be here someday.

It says Monday right on the frontpage of their (DBSTalk's) website

That looks sweet...can't wait!

Right after the initial post it reads:

"Folks, the DIRECTV App should be available in the App Store by Monday Morning (March 30, 2009)."

Doesn't mean it won't sit in 'App Approval Purgatory' for a while, but I would bet it is out sooner than later!

My understanding is that DIRECTV's iPhone app has already done it's time in purgatory and is scheduled for availability tonight/tomorrow AM.

It's available in the App Store right now.

It is available now. For whatever reason, I can't get it to show up in the mobile iTunes store when I search 'directv'. It does show up when you search for 'directv.com'.

It shows up if you search for "directv" but it's on about the 3rd page of 25.

If you search for "DVR" you'll find it at the bottom of the first page.

this is a great little app... used it for a couple of months with my BB and it has come in very handy at times when I forget about a show or I suddenly realize I am missing a ballgame.

Just tried it. Worked well. Thanks DirecTV.
