Latest reviews of Direct Remote for DIRECTV app for iPhone and iPad
I was really hopeful when I found this app. Since directv removed its external rf port from its receivers Ive had trouble controlling my tuners due to range issues. Unfortunately, the iremote looses the tuner when the network changes the IP address and the search function will only find a null remote whatever that is. Problem is I must look up and manually enter the receiver id over and over. Makes the app almost worthless
I got all excited and this app didnt work!!!! I spent 99 cents for something that doesnt work. Waste Of money and time.
Works great easy to use easy to install and support was great.
App would always shut down didnt work waste of money.
Before the update this app worked fine. But ever since the update, I cant find any receivers. Even when I add my receiver manually it Still doesnt work. Im going to find smith remote app now!
