They also have an iPhone app that allows you to set up recording on any receiver, and unlike the Dish app, theirs actually works.

However, the biggest unexpected feature of DirecTV is that the high volume sound of all commercials is somehow suppressed. I had complained to Dish on several occasions about this problem since their own commercials were the worst offenders. No more running for the mute button when Vince comes on with the wonders of Sham Wow, or the dork in PC Matic fixes his mom's computer.

In case you were not aware of it, some newer types of HDTV's have a built it sound suppresor for those loud commercials and he settings include for the channels that have low sound. You just set the volume and it stays the same. Samsung is one of the models that have.

I currently own a 57 inch flat screen from Samsung and it has that feature. It works great especially during the NFL Sunday ticket
where the volumes are very different due to croud noise.
