An official DirecTV app for tablets has finally landed on the Google Play store, bringing with it what appears to be a hell of a feature set. While taking advantage of the added screen real estate of a tablet, you’ll find all sorts of panelled views showing favorites, what you are currently watching, a channel guide, sports scores, news, and more. You can set your DVR, filter sports by matchups and leagues, discover new shows, see what’s hot this moment, and find the best goodies for your kids.

I’m not a DirecTV subscriber, but this app certainly looks impressive. A reader has already called it “amazing.” Got get it. 

Customers of DIRECTV are in luck today, as the official Android application for the service has been updated and brings along a pretty nice live streaming feature. No matter where you go, you can now take your favorite shows with you and that even includes your favorite movies. As well as being able to stream sweet content, you can also see what shows people are buzzing about, which means no more feeling left out when everyone at the office is chirping away about some reality show you never knew existed. Sweet, right?

Now DIRECTV goes anywhere you go. Get instant access to hit entertainment from HBO®, Cinemax®, Starz®, and Encore®, plus the latest DIRECTV CINEMA movies and more, whenever and wherever you want-at home or on the go. Go to the “Watch on Phone” tab located on your home screen and select “Movies”, “TV Shows” or “Networks” to start watching now.

Being a Comcast subscriber myself, I can’t personally test the application out. Let us know how it goes for you down below.
