Now you can watch AUDIENCE NETWORK TV channel on your iPad whenever and wherever you want--at home or on the go. Go to the "Watch on iPad" tab located at the bottom right of the iPad app and select "Live TV" to start watching now.
I was about to update the Directv Ipad app then something tells me to check the reviews first which you could always expect to be bad reviews, and it was but also checked here to verify and now I'm sticking to the previous version which works fine, lessons learned ALWAYS CHECK FOR REVIEWS FIRST, then decided to update or not depending on how well or bad the previous version worked.

What I'm reading here makes me want to wait for another update, but then again is been working fine for me so as they say if it ain't broke don't fix it or in this case try to update

The Ipad app is not working for me now when I try to use the "Watch on Ipad" feature. The loading icon just keeps spinning. I can watch live tv via the guide however.
This and other ones I read in the App Store but also I'm in no hurry to update unless there's more live tv channels or other features, don't get me wrong I updated before on many occasions just not this one for now.
I don't either but i sometimes read some of em before making bad decisions on my part before doing anything maybe I'm looking for the sweet spot review or just too skeptical I guess.
At the same time, I am convinced there's a bunch of folks who comb through Yelp, iTunes, etc. just to give great reviews to awful places or things, and crap reviews to good things. Sometimes it's trashing by competitors, esp. in the restaurant business, but no one's immune.
Well after updating I still have my last receiver displayed but not selectable in the switch to control receiver (lower left) drop down. As described earlier I can slide to it but as soon as I lift my finger it scrolls back down. Reminds me of an old screen language I used to code in where if input array had a different value than the display array (in this case 1 more) you could see the item until you toggled into input mode where it would fall out of boundary and disappear. Though in this realm it could be my non retina display iPad not having the resolution to display it on the main page drop down's boundary lines.
And the 30 pin connector still does not pass audio for the iPad app (it works normal for iTunes and other audio outputs so not hardware here)
iPhone app works fine thru the 30 pin.
I have tried to follow the link before to rate the app and it failed on me (haven't tried for quite awhile though) and haven't taken time to hit the app store for that purpose. My apologies.
I find it very useful for remote recording scheduling and having an on the go "TV" when I'm here on the farm and not in any of the media source locations but need my NCIS marathon fix.
I'll swing out to the app store eventually. Meanwhile tell your team thank you for a really cool product and tell yourself that while you are at it. Thanks! I know its a complex undertaking in so few megs of code space.

I could be mis-remembering, but I thought in the past, my OTA recordings on the playlist showed the correct channel #, even if they incorrectly showed the SAT channel's call letters. IOW, I'd see 4-1 & WNBC, instead of 4-1 & WNBCDT.
Yesterday, I noticed the Deception OTA recording was showing 4 & WNBC, same as the sat back-up. Only pointing it out because in order to play back the OTA recording, I had to take the extra step of checking the INFO to see which room it recorded in. I don't remember having to do that in the past, but I could be mistaken.
just installed the ipad app (1.9.9) for my wife yesterday. It seems pretty good so far. I had to put in the IP addresses for HRxx's but all else seems good.
Not knowing networking. Will it recognize when IP addresses change? Should I make em static? Can I make em static?

If the IP address of the receiver changes, you might have to update it in the app. I use DHCP reservations for my receivers. When I recently moved a receiver to a new IP address, I needed to update the IP address in the app manually.
In most cases, even if you are using DHCP to have an IP address assigned to a receiver, it will most likely not change as the lease will keep renewing the same IP address. If you do have issues, I would recommend using DHCP reservations, if your router allows it.
OK thanks. I assume my router does. It's a Apple Airport Extreme (2 yrs old)
