Intorducing the Palm Pre/Pixi Scheduling app from DIRECTV!
DIRECTV has raised the bar again in satellite TV innovations. For the first of it's kind for the Palm Pre/Pixi, Directv has introduce a wonderful app that allows users to schedule recordings right from the "Palm" of their hand. It has a full featured guide with 14 days of programing. You can use this application just like you would use a Directv receiver's guide and see what is on in an hour, or next week. Then it has the ability to record that show for just that day or make it a Series link.
The app has a guide like one would see on the Directv's website. Is your significant other watching something you can't interrupt and you know you can't look through the guide to see what teams are playing tomorrow and you know you will miss most of that game because you have things to do. Well take out your Pre and you have it all at your fingertips. You can even record that game so you KNOW you won't miss it
You can search the DIRECTV guide with a great search option. Say your friend recommends you a show to watch and you both are at the bar. Well with this search option you can look that show up and see exactly when it's on. But you know you work that evening, well just record it to any or all of your DIRECTV DVR's. You can see the results here as well.
Within that guide that app has a detailed description of the show you may want to record. You can set the recording to either the series or just that specific showing from this app! You can record these programs to one or multiple DVR's throughout your house. It also has the ability to search by Channel Name or Channel Number. On the Pre you can start typing a letter or number and it will then go to that letter or channel number.
Once you set a recording it will notify you saying that you have a successful scheduling.
In conclusion, one can see how convenient this app really is. You can virtually be anywhere with a WiFi or 3G connection and record something to your home DVR's with this simple fast application from DIRECTV
A Palm Pre/Pixi before Blackberry? Gee, before you know it, it'll be available for my wife's cruddy Samsung Kalatyst, my old Nokia brick phone, and quite possibly, my Motorola StarTac from 1995.
Now let's see.. Bell Atlantic Mobile became what.. Verizon?
Downloaded it tonight and it looks great. It seems to work quicker than the mobile site for setting up recordings. Being able to browse channels is a GREAT feature.
Only one thing I'd like to see tweaked: a prompt/ability to pad sporting event recordings like we get when setting recordings on the actual receiver.
I'm not knocking the first look, and they did a great job.
But when the most popular device is after the Android and, excuse me, Palm Pre/Pixi? It just makes one scratch their head and wonder.
I find Linux far easier to develop on, but if I was making an app, I'd make sure it was on Windows either first or the same time as Linux (even though I don't use Windows much at all these days). And there's 2003, 2008, XP, Vista, and 7. Many variations to think about, but you know what? Other companies just get it done.
Where's the thread for the "Blackberry wish list"?
Ask and you shall receive! Thanks Palm and DirecTV. Palm Pre is the best as is WebOS! So the Pre deserves this excellent app! Sorry Blackberry users but don't rain on our parade, btw our phone truly is better.
If your talking about 1.9.2, as far as I can tell its the Order A Movie Or Event Now on the main screen. There is a nice instuctional when you get into it!

Gotta agree there. I've used Palm since the III, so it was no contest that I'd be going with the Pre after my Treo. My Wife and I both love this phone! It is, by far, the best one out there. Too bad it isn't getting the love it deserves. The app catalog may be small, but there are some great apps there. This is one, and Tom Clancy's HAWX is another.

I've been there often. Thanks. Now that HP is buying Palm we can look foward to lots more apps and finally some advertising that works (not the creepy Palm Girl).
