That is cool. I've been waiting for this. I am at my office and set a recording for "Dirty Jobs" at 5:00pm. We'll see if it works when I get back to the coach later.

That's a nice feature but a bit clunky to work through. I scanned down to channel 388 and then changed the time by one block. I then had to scan back down to 388, move one more time block scan back down to 388 where I found the program I was looking for. I hope they will improve the service as it develops. I would love to be able to do a program search there instead of the one in the DVR that requires a point and click spelling of the title.
Thanks for the info.

I've used it successfully a few times. You can not set up a season pass with it. It only does a one time record event at this time. DTV said they would be "enhancing" the features soon. You are right, the interface is a bit clunky but it does work in a pinch.
