This morning social TV platform Miso has announced a brand new partnership with DIRECTV, the world’s largest pay TV service, that is taking social TV to the next level, actually connecting Miso to your DIRECTV so that the app knows what your watching when you’re watching it.
This week everyone’s been talking about Football Cops—the latest hoax from DirecTV. A trailer for new cop drama starring footballers Payton and Eli Manning, that puts a new spin on law enforcement, hit YouTube earlier this week and everyone is wishing that this show was the real deal.
Satellite-TV provider DirecTV announced that its DirecTV iPad App is now available via the iTunes App Store.
The app allows users to create their own customized home screens; use standard TV controls including play, pause, rewind, fast-forward, and scroll through channels; create lists of favorite channels and sports teams; browse by subjects such as movies, sports, or a complete 14-day guide; use one-tap DVR recording and programming information; get access to DVR playlists; and set their DVRs from anywhere.
The app joins similar iPhone and Android efforts, and CNET pointed out that it is only compatible with DirecTV Plus DVR and TiVo Series 2 receivers.
