DirecTV’s new mobile site lets you control your DirecTV DVR through your mobile phone

Imagine that, DirecTV is banking that the mobile-space is the next-step in DVR control. The satellite-TV company has rolled out a new mobile-website that its DVR-customers are going to find fairly (hopefully) useful.
The new website allows DirecTV customers to log-in and schedule DVR recordings right from their mobile phone. A Macenstein reader reports that the mobile-website works darn well on the iPhone and even remembers log-in credentials to help streamline the emergency-DVR-recording process.
Never again will you miss that special “Bowel-Movements” episode of Oprah because you forgot to schedule the recording before you hit the road - or, um, maybe a Pay-Per-View sporting event (yea, that’s the ticket).
The DirecTV mobile-website allows you to search by show-title and even knows how many DVR boxes you have in your house - it’ll prompt you to specify which box you’d like to control.
DVR-toting DirecTV customers can hit up the DirecTV mobile-website and give the new platform a whirl. We’re all about cable-TV over here, so let us know how you like mobile-DVR-scheduling.
