DirecTV's free iPhone app manages 100k downloads in a week

Shockingly enough, people seem to be interested in the possibility of easily browsing TV schedules and programming their DirecTV DVR from the iPhone / iPod Touch, for free. Available for just one week so far, it's already ticked over 100,000 downloads so yeah, it's popular, our only question is what's next? You've probably checked it out by now, let us know what features need to be changed or added, or just tee off on the fact that your TV or cellphone provider hasn't unveiled a similar setup yet, we're listening.

I don't even have DirecTV and I downloaded the app just in case I get DirecTV one day but by that time they start charging for the app. :)

Yeah the App works great…
The little thing that could be in there, is to purchase in-Demand or PPV.

You can record PPV, just select the movie and it records.

Kind of sad that they got an app out before AT&T got an app done for their own U-Verse service. (Happy U-Verse customer otherwise.)

A number of Snapstream BeyondTV users have been asking for something similar for a while now. Maybe this will help push the issue.

Cool. Now give me an Android version.
