HELP...Watching Direct TV on my Iphone

[lvarchracer]

I was told when I purchased Direct Tv service that there was a work around to be able to watch direct tv on my iphone or from a computer without having to purchase SlingBox. I sure this question has been asked before but I cant seem to find the question out there. Can someone please help me with this. Thanks

Watching on your iPhone I don't think is possible, setting a recording on your DVR from your iPhone is. Now if you want to view it on your computer check out this thread. (http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=165127)

Oh and :welcome_s

There's no way to watch DirecTV on your iPhone. Unless you're willing/able to record the desired shows to your PC in iPhone compatible video formats.

Using the Slingbox with the iPhone Slingplayer app works pretty well. You just need a decent internet connection at home and the iPhone needs to be on WiFi or the 3G network. You can watch live tv and play back recorded shows.

I have only seen the app that allows you to watch the NFL Sunday Ticket games on the iPhone or iPod Touch.

I forgot all about this one, but yes I think it was part of SuperFan this year to be able to watch all games online or on your iPhone/Touch/Blackberry

There is an iphone app that gives you full remote access to your PC. I guess the question is, if you have Directv2PC and access your PC from your iphone, will it display on the phone.

I don't think you can expect much from using DIRECTV2PC via an iPhone PC app. The best way to do this is via an external Slingbox and the iPhone SlingPlayer app.

There is no way without a slingbox setup to watch your D* from outside your home. The Dirctv2PC app only works on your home network and DVR's and PC's need to be on the same subnet

Or a HAVA player (http://www.monsoonmultimedia.com/products.html)and a HAVA app (http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.search.i tunes.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZContentLink.w oa%252Fwa%252Flink%253Fpath%253Dapps%25252fhavapla yer). HAVA is much less expensive than Sling and allows many more multiple simultaneous feeds and Sling. Sling can be accessed over 3G now and HAVA cannot yet (must use WiFi currently).

You can also use ORB (http://www.orb.com/). I use ORB in conjunction with my HAVA and I am able to watch DirecTV on my iPhone on 3G. If you connect your D receiver/DVR directly to your PC and use an IR Blaster you can use ORB (free PC download) to watch your DirecTV on your phone (http://www.orb.com/iphone_how) (ORB APP (http://itunes.apple.com/app/orblive/id290195003?mt=8) can be used without having to buy a Sling box or HAVA box).

DK - Can you give us more detail on how you have your STB connected to your PC, as well as how you can remotely operate your STB with the ir blaster & Orb?

Thanks
