**To use, your DIRECTV receiver must be connected to your network.** **To those wishing for volume control** I'd love to do that too, but volume is a function of your audio equipment (i.e. television set), and the only way to do control such a device is via infrared signals. I don't know of any Android devices which natively support infrared, meaning there would need to be some kind of extra hardware support, not something I'm currently planning on doing.
FEATURES ----------- > Signal meter to check the signal quality of the currently tuned channel--especially useful for installing a dish, since you no longer need to have someone else checking the signal meter onscreen. > Reset your receiver directly from the app--if your receiver becomes sluggish, resetting will usually resolve any issues > Full remote control emulation--completely duplicates the physical remote control provided with your receiver. > Automatic detection of receivers, zero configuration > Display what's currently playing and what's on right now on all your favorite channels > Launch the DIRECTV official app directly from the options menu for quick access to DIRECTV's online scheduling utility > Can be used in conjunction with Slingbox to remotely control the receiver while watching remotely
SETUP ----------- Setup is simple if you are connected to Wi-Fi. Just press the Menu key and choose "Select Receiver". Your receivers will be automatically detected and displayed in a list. High definition receivers without DVRs (models H21, H23, and H24) will need to be manually added the first time, or whenever the IP address for the receiver changes. High definition receivers with DVRs (models HR20, HR21, HR23, and HR24) should be automatically detected if they are correctly connected to the same home network. If your receivers are not detected, you can manually enter the IP addresses and add them to the list.
--FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY-- If you would like to use over 3G or 4G, you must forward port 8080 to your DIRECTV receiver, and manually add your public IP address as a receiver. For now, only one receiver can be accessed via this method.
Requires DIRECTV PLUS HD DVR (models HR20, HR21, HR22, HR23, HR24 and H21, H23, H24) connected to a home network.
This app will NOT let you watch your recordings on your android device. That would require reverse-engineering DIRECTV's DRM, and would likely be found to be in violation of the DMCA.
I am not affiliated with DIRECTV in any way. This app may stop working at any time at DIRECTV's discretion.

I love this app. Its a pain trying to change the channels on the HD dvr when can't find the remote. Last time someone misplaced the remote I was so glad I found this app it works perfectly i think i like this one better than the other DirecTV app even tho the other one looks more like the real remote. This 1 has a cool option to save favorite channels and you can see what's on each channel.
