I like that DirecTV updated their iPad app. I use a similar app, but through my employer DISH Network. I have the DISH Remote Access app and I prefer to use it over any other. Like the DirecTV app, it lets me control my DVR using my iPad, and I can set recordings as well. Where the DISH Remote Access app is different is I can watch my channels on my iPad! I dont mean the On Demand things that have a limited selection; I can watch live TV or see my recordings just as I would see it on my TV. Best of all, I can take it anywhere I want and still be able to watch TV. So even though it is cool that DirecTV has more features on their app, I would much prefer the DISH Remote Access app!

Sad day when Dish's app is still better than DTV's and DTV has nothing but time to catch up or make a better app.
