We said it was coming, and DirecTV for iPad has now hit the app store. The free app is a nice addition to the DirectTV service. The app can be used as a remote, it can schedule DVR recordings, and has an easily browsable guide for locating your favorite programs and setting preferences for the types of shows you may be interested in. The iPhone has already had a DVR scheduling app from DirecTV.
The remote control part of the app requires a WiFi connection. DVR control can be over WiFi, 3G or the Edge network, if your iPad is so equipped.
Using the app is a pleasure, but
