Terrible APP

Having gone back to Direct TV after a few years of being with Dish, I was terribly disappointed with the APP. I record mostly cable news programming and it seems that that is “not allowed” to be viewed on the APP. It seems that only certain recorded  shows are available for viewing on the APP unlike the old Direct APP or the Dish APP which truly allowed you to watch your programming anywhere anytime ( which I used to do, even when traveling abroad). I was told the APP is separate from my satellite service as if it’s just some sort of perk I was allowed to access but it wasn’t part of my tv package??? Really? It wasn’t sold to me that way. We have trouble with internet sometimes so for now I have stayed with satellite fully expecting to get the full service of the excellent APP that used to be available that included access to all of my DVR programs not just what was available for streaming. What is Direct TV going to do to fix this situation?

There is suppose to be an update in August but not all channels are allowing DTV to stream their programs to the app.

Well, this is still unsatisfactory as it used to be one of the selling factors of Direct TV as well as Dish. I know I am behind the times but when the internet goes down and it takes 6 days for AT&T to get out to make repairs and then the other week it went out 3 days due to work in the neighborhood, so for now I am sticking with old school satellite. But I used to have access to ALL of my recordings in the past with Direct TV and until a few weeks ago I had the same service with Dish. Really crummy service.
