Kind of surprised I haven't seen this mentioned yet. Huge update to the DirecTV app a few days ago.

You can now download programs from your DVR to your iPhone/iPad (using your at home wifi).

If you also have AT&T as your cell provider you can stream programs from your DVR (through the DirecTV app) to your iPhone/iPad without using your data.

On top of all that, I received an email from DirecTV saying that AT&T was giving me the NFL football package for the 2016/2017 season for free, a $350 value. I don't watch football but still thought that was kind of cool. Wife wants me to call them and ask if we can sub it for 3 months of Showtime. :p
