DirecTV, a provider of digital satellite television services in the U.S., has released an iPad app that offers remote control functionality and TV guide browsing. With this entry in the App Store, DirecTV joins several television service providers in the U.S. including Comcast (Xfinity), Tivo, Verizon, and AT&T in offering an iOS app to control DVRs and access television program guides.

The app’s description lists the following features:

• Set recordings or channel tune instantly, and access more information on shows, cast & crew, with parental ratings.
