DIRECTV Application for iPadfeaturingDIRECTV Everywhere

I’ve made no secret that one of my favorite appsfor my iPad comes from DIRECTV.How can you go wrong with one free app that turns your iPad into a mega-remote, letsyou watch live TV right on the iPad, see what’s on next, schedule recordings, and look atyour playlist? Did I remember to mention the part where it’s free? DIRECTV’s iPad app,as great as it is, suffers from the same problem as other DIRECTV features: you prettymuch have to be inside the home to use it. While competitors have piled on the remotemanagement features, DIRECTV has chosen to hang back, get the contracts settled, andwait until they could provide the best possible experience.2 2012, SolidSignal.comReproduction is permitted provided copyright information is intact.

DIRECTV Everywhere, they call it.With the latest version of the app (stillfree) you can watch selected programsfrom outside the home. Right nowthe selection is limited to a few moviechannels and the Audience Network,but you know that there are going to bemore channels added. If things go theway they have in the past, those channelswill be added automatically to the app.Watching DIRECTV outside the house iseasy to do but it does take a few steps. Tapon the Watch on iPad button, locatedat the lower right, to get to a menu ofeverything you can watch on the iPad.Tap on Networks near the top to seethe networks you can watch anywhere.Then, tap on a network to bring upa list of what you can see. Tap on ashow to see available episodes, and tapon Watch Now to start watching. Itsounds harder than it is, and if you tapon the large question mark on the upperright, there is a help menu to get youstarted. There’s a large amount of contentfrom the Audience Network that’s freeto anyone, and if you subscribe to Starz,HBO, Cinemax, Encore, or Sony MovieChannel you can watch that content aswell. Once you’ve done it once or twiceit’s actually pretty easy.Video quality can be affected by a poorinternet connection, of course, somake sure that you’ve got a nice cleanconnection. A wi-fi connection is a goodbet there although this should work over3G or the 4G connection coming withthe new iPad.3 2012, SolidSignal.comReproduction is permitted provided copyright information is intact.

Social networking is easier than everwith the iPad app. What’s Hot now takesrecommendations from your twitterfeed and facebook page, as well as fromDIRECTV’s own feed to give you a muchmore comprehensive view of what’s reallygoing on and what people are watching.It’s easier than ever to see what yourfriends are watching and schedule yourown viewing. Every info screen also has ashare button allowing you to quickly postto Facebook, Miso, GetGlue, and Twitter.For those who are unfamiliar with Miso,it’s a real-time social networking appdesigned to give anyone the opportunityto create a “second screen” withcomments and trivia. It’s available fordesktop computers and iPhones.DIRECTV didn’t stop at streaming, either.They added an easy link to the AnswerCenter. If you read my review of themobile site, you saw that I complainedthat the Answer Center was very hardto get to, all the way at the bottom. Here,click the question mark and tap “Support”and you’ll be given a link that opens a fullversion of the DIRECTV site within theiPad App and starts at the Answer Centerfor iPad. DIRECTV’s got themselves awinner with the iPad app and the additionof DIRECTV Everywhere is great. I hearrumors that versions for other platformsare still coming, but it’s too early to say whenthey will come. Still, I think DIRECTVmade the right decision in starting withthe iPad app. If I were streaming video,that’s the platform I’d use.4 2012, SolidSignal.comReproduction is permitted provided copyright information is intact.
