DirecTV's
still-in-beta "Everywhere"
streaming package only arrived on the iPad a month ago,
and now the company has updated its app
for Android phones with
access to the same set of video-on-demand streaming movies and TV
shows for viewing wherever subscribers might be. Interestingly this
feature is arriving on Google powered devices before it hits the
iPhone (neither one so far has added the in-home
live TV streaming feature from
the iPad app, however the iPhone does have a player for
the Nomad transcoder which
Android and the iPad lack), in opposition to the usual trend of video
streaming apps from cable and satellite TV providers, often
for DRM and compatibility reasons.
On Google Play the app was still installable on our various tablets
and phones alike, although YMMV on what happens when you select the
"Watch on Phone" tab to stream from HBO, Cinemax, Starz,
Encore or DirecTV Cinema. Of course the usual DVR scheduling and
remote control features are still present and accounted for, so hit
the link below to grab the free app and try it out yourself.
