Ok, there was another thread here...the beta version of xCon does fix the DirecTV app...you have to add the developer's repo and install from there.

Just letting people know that this works. Just tested it on my iPad 2 with the Directv app.
 
The beta version does not appear to work for Cox TV Connect, whereas the version available in the default repo (37-1) works fine.
