DirecTV already lets you stream on-demand video content through its iPad and Android apps, and now the same functionality is available for iPhone users. Customers can now access a range of on-demand content wherever they are through the new “Watch on iPhone” tab, which includes both movies and television shows from networks including HBO, Starz, Encore, and Cinemax. The update also brings the option to watch some live TV content, though unlike the on-demand shows, you can only view live TV while on your home network. While it took longer than expected to roll out, this is undoubtedly good news for iPhone-wielding DirecTV customers — you can grab the updated version of the app now from the source link below.
