DirecTV’s DVR schedule app recently made its way to the Android and WebOS platforms, but it’s been available for the iPhone for roughly one year and has now hit 1 million users on that device. To celebrate, DirecTV said it will soon expand the app and other services to include recommendations, ratings, mobile video streaming trailers, pay-per-view extensions and the ability to order content without a home phone line. Buttons for reviews and ratings are already on the WebOS version and are expected to fully migrate soon. There’s been no word about the app expanding to other platforms; most notably missing is the BlackBerry.
