DirecTV App for iPhone v2.2.x - Issues/Discussion

Interesting, downloading now.

It cannot find my receiver for live content and playback of non-live content was very poor on wifi.

Had no trouble finding my receivers

Still wishing for:
1: a mini-remote control.
2: Landscape guide with expanded time span
3: interactivity within the guide to "watch now on TV" (combo of 1 & 2)

Well now it is working fine for me.

A new DirecTV update on the eve of the release of iOS 6.

DirecTV Everywhere is a nice addition to the DirecTV app in version 2.2.0.

I used to be able to schedule DVR recordings. Now it said its not supported on Jailbroken Devices and I can't even schedule a G-D- DVR show. I need iBlacklist, 5 x 4 icon springboard and infinifolders to stay organized. Guess i'll have to see if xCon works. If not, its back to restore the old version from iTunes.

I've yet to find a single reason to jailbreak any of my iOS devices, but that's a topic for elsewhere.

You aren't looking hard enough then. I could give you a huge list for either my iPhone or iPad. Maybe when I have more time and in another thread.

About time. Now I'm just waiting for iOS6 to get posted..

Sweet!
It's a now option to have.
I used to hope that my App Store update number meant a DirecTv update. I gave up all hope because all recent threads wondering about an iPhone app were never addressed by an expert wih a cryptic "soon"

There one thing that the Iphone app can do but not the Ipad app. You can airplay the live tv channels to apple tv.

I have not been able to use this app for some time as it always says "we are experiencing technical..." followed by error 1001- Network Communication Data Contents PGWSReceivers

This update has not fixed the issue (even reinstalling) and I have not been able to find a solution to get it working again.

This is pretty cool.

If you have set up iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage>Under Backups Click your iPhone it should display the name and size of the backup> Show all Apps> Scroll to DirecTV then Turn Off & Delete
Then delete and re-install the App only after doing the above. If its working properly after re-install then you can repeat the steps above except Turn On to continue backing up the data.

Anyone know how to revert back to the older version of the app?

I second this with your 3rd point I'm hoping for like a mini Playlist like on the iPad.
