Excellent job on the First Look, team! Makes me want to switch to an iPhone, but I'll continue using m.directv.com on my Mobile 6 phone for now ... it's just not as nice as the iPhone app.

Great job everyone! Looks great, even if I don't have the iPhone to go with it.
Here's hoping that a Blackberry app is next in line

Shouldn't "full-featured" remote scheduling include being able to look at the existing schedule for your DVR to avoid conflicts?
A Slingbox/SlingGuide interface is significantly more "full-featured" in terms of remote scheduling and space management.

To me, this reminds me of when Kodak went and started doing stuff outside their area of expertise. They failed.
I wish D* would stick with TV (like providing a HD user interface for the HD boxes) instead of gimmicks like this.
(Yes, I know that I'll be in a significant minority here )

I've used this feature on numerous occasions. Being able to set a recording remotely is really nice. Besides, this is about TV.

I don't know if I would call this a "gimmick". It's a tool to make it easy to set recordings on DirecTV DVRs. The interface is great for the casual user and miles ahead of the web based version.

I have used the m.directv.com site numerous times myself (in fact, I helped two of my friends record shows on their DVR last night using it).

Very Nice guys. Looks like a better interface than what is on the HR20 itself.
Just one thing missing....
Ability to locally download show from DVR to iPhone/iPod!

I hope they'll come up with an app for WM6.1 because this device is what I'm sticking to. Never liked the iPhone operating system and stuff.

Same here. As much as I'd love to get an iPhone, I will NOT switch to AT&T under ANY circumstances.
Back to topic, nice write up!

Nice job guys, and it looks like a very nice app. No go for me though due to being a blackberry user.

I believe with the Slingbox, you are interfacing directly with your IRD, while the DirecTV App just sends the request via the Satellite downlink. That is why the option is there for if possible or definitely.
DirecTV would need to keep a constantly updated database from ever DVR that is enabled to give live scheduling conflict. That is just not fesaible...
The App looks very cool, if I ever had an iPhone, it would be on there

I used this app on my iPod Touch and it works just a good. I am on Verizon Wireless and not AT&T. So, you guys that are not on AT&T an ipod Touch is a good alternative.
