After adding
live TV streaming features to the
DirecTV iPad app last fall, the company is expanding the feature today by pushing an upgrade that lets viewers watch video (but no live TV, yet) even when they're away from home. Dubbed DirecTV Everywhere, it follows up on the company's promises of
more video for customer's mobile devices, offering "selected" video on-demand programming for on the go viewing.
The Solid Signal Blog has an early preview of the new features with more screenshots and a video, revealing that available content at the moment consists of premium movie channels (HBO networks, Starz, Sony Movie Channel) and DirecTV's own Audience Network. While we wait for more content, other new features include the What's Hot social module pulling from your Twitter and Facebook friends to see what they're watching, and social checkins with
Miso. We haven't gotten any official info from DirecTV on the upgrade beyond the changelog, but for now you can check out iTunes for the details.

You mean Directv actually gave their customer on demand content? No way! I bet their subscribers will be tickled pink with being able to stream on demand content to their iPad. I know that DISH subscribers including myself have been enjoying on demand content on our iPads for months, so it is about time that Directv caught up with something for their customers. Amazingly enough like most things from Directv its only in Beta right now, so I am sure it will get a bug free software release in 6 months or so, but until then you can enjoy on demand content from 4 channels! Working at DISH I spend a lot of time streaming programs to my iPad and my computer, so I can get caught up on my favorite shows, but of course I have access to a lot more on demand programming then just 4 channels. I am sure though that this will be as big of hit with their subscribers as the Nomad has been.
