DirecTV has quietly updated both its iPad app and HR34 DVR with a variety of new features for Satellite-loving customers. The application will now resume from where you left off, comes with a much improved search function and best of all, a direct line into the company's support forums. Meanwhile, the HR34 swallowed a software package that included Pandora, a YouTube landing page and more readable closed captions amongst a raft of other nips and tucks. The former will be available through the app store, while the latter should have arrived on your box overnight, well before you start on that CSI marathon.

Man DirecTV must have been busy getting those ready, a resume button on the iPad app is a great option for subscribers. The way I figure it since you can’t stream live TV outside of your house; you should be able to resume it where you left off when you get home. I’ve never had that problem personally; I always kept my mobile device mobile and my television in my house. Not that I won’t stream to a mobile device, I do all the time, just not in my house. Since I work nights at Dish and take a bus home, I have always relied on my sling adapter and the Dish Remote Access app to allow me to stream all of my live channels and recorded shows to my iPad over WIFI, 3G or 4G. With a 45 minute wait for the bus at night, it does come in handy to watch any one of my live channels or recorded show that I want.
