DIRECTV DVR Scheduler App In Beta For BlackBerry

If you’ve been waiting around for this as long as I have, then you’ll be thrilled to know that DIRECTV has released its DVR Scheduler application for the BlackBerry. And, of course, it’s in Beta (v1.1.2). But it’s better than nothing.

Even in Beta form, it’s faster by design…making the same functionality from the “m” website a little quicker by placing all options front and center rather than having to click through a list of links thanks to the easy user interface.

The app allows you to search for any television show up to 14 days in advance; browse programs by channel or date & time; get program information instantly, including description, length and rating; record a single episode or an entire series; order DIRECTV Cinema™ right on your phone (only available for iPhone, Android, and Palm for now).

All of the menus are straightforward. Start your search as you would online: by show title, by channel, or by date & time. If searching by channel, you may use your BlackBerry keyboard to type the channel name once the list of channels has been listed, which of course is extremely helpful.

Arrange your results by date or by channel…

After you’ve selected your show, there’s the option to view show details. Assuming you’ve got one you want and are ready to schedule the recording…get confirmation after selecting the receiver, giving the recording a priority, and choosing how long to keep it.

To download the DIRECTV DVR Scheduler application, visit m.directv.com/mobileapps from your smartphone browser. DIRECTV has also setup a Mobile App Technical Forum for you to leave feedback and report any issues with your app.
