You can already control your VUDU queue, home automation system and Netflix account with your iPhone, so really, why not your DirecTV set-top-box? As recent commercials have shown, the satcaster is pretty big on remote scheduling, and while this mysterious DirecTV iPhone app doesn't yet have a public purpose, it doesn't take much thought to conjure up a good guess. Word on the street is that this limited beta hasn't officially opened up for testers yet, but the image above shows otherwise. A staggeringly great Q4, an iPhone app on the horizon -- man, life's good at DirecTV.
This is a great app if you just want to be able to set up recordings. But what if you want actually watch live content on your phone? Well there is an app that can do that. With the DISH Remote Access app from DISH Network and a Sling Adapter or Sling Loaded VIP 922 you can stream live content over 3g or wifi. You can even delete DVR recordings after you are done with them. Check out DISH.com and search TV Everywhere.
