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.

I am sure DirecTV subscribers will love actually being able to leave the house with their iPad’s and Android devices again. Although the 49 channels of live streaming are still locked up in the house, and you aren’t going to watch your DVR recordings without anything but the Nomad and an iPhone, you can watch content that DirecTV selects for you. I am a big fan of streaming, have been since I started at Dish and was getting trained on the sling adapter. I quickly purchased one so I could check it out and I was not disappointed. The Dish Remote Access app with the help of the sling adapter allow me to stream all my live channels and recorded shows to my mobile device no matter where I am. Being able to watch television where and when I want simplifies my life and makes everyone aware of my streaming awesomeness.
