Less than one year after its debut for the iPhone and iPod touch, more than 1 million users have downloaded the award-winning DIRECTV DVR Scheduler app. The wildly popular app is now available on Android devices and the Palm Pre and Pixi.

In 2009, the DIRECTV DVR Scheduler app was named one of forbes.com’s Best Branded Mobile Apps, Best Mobile Application by Mobile Excellence Awards and highlighted as one of Apple’s Favorite Staff Picks.

DIRECTV has led the industry in the application of remote DVR scheduling technology, with more than 12 million recordings scheduled remotely to DIRECTV DVRs in 2009. Future versions of the application will offer the ability to order DIRECTV Cinema movies for mobile phone only households, content recommendations and ratings, and streaming of show and movie trailers.

The DIRECTV DVR Scheduler app, now being featured in a new national TV campaign, is the easiest and fastest way to program your home DVR to record any show right from your phone – no matter where you are. The application enables users to:
