I'm not sure how I lived without a DVR — though I've only had it for a few years, it's a convenience that I don't think I can live without! I've already told you how to program your TiVo online, and now DirecTV subscribers can set their DVRs on the go. The DirecTV iPhone App for iPhone allows you to access and edit your account and recording schedule.
Sign into the free application using your DirecTV account to access and change your preset recordings and schedule new recordings from your phone. You can also customize the application to include only channels you receive within its listed shows. Even if you're not a DirecTV customer, you can use the app to search current shows by channel, title, or date and time, plus read episode information and summaries.
Similar to TiVo's disclaimer that the service isn't guaranteed to be error-free, the app does include a warning that "in rare instances, scheduled recordings may not be recognized," so if you're recording something super important, it's best to program that from home.

I use this all the time and have never had a problem. It also allows me to record to individual DVR's on my account. I find it's easier to search for shows and record them from this app than searching for them on the DVR as well.
1I've been using this for months and it's been great. Never had any issues and everything I set to record has been there. It's a must for DirecTV dvr owners.
