DirecTV has quietly updated both its iPad app and HR34 DVR with a variety of new features for Satellite-loving customers. The application will now resume from where you left off, comes with a much improved search function and best of all, a direct line into the company's support forums. Meanwhile, the HR34 swallowed a software package that included Pandora, a YouTube landing page and more readable closed captions amongst a raft of other nips and tucks. The former will be available through the app store, while the latter should have arrived on your box overnight, well before you start on that CSI marathon.

DirecTV has been kind of quiet up until Friday; I think they released the update quietly because the HR34 has had buggy beta software in it since it was released in December. I will admit adding YouTube and Pandora to the receiver is a bonus for subscribers, at least now they can listen to music while they clean, and watch pimple popping videos on YouTube. It has to be better than deleting all the recordings off the receiver since it has to stay clean with only 200 hours of HD recording time. Dish added Pandora to the Hopper in April I have religiously listened to Pandora while I clean the house several times a week, I might be a clean freak. The best thing Dish has done for the Hopper is double the recording space to 500 hours of HD space, which is 60% more then the HR34. I have to record everything I want to watch, or even think I will watch since I work nights at Dish and I’m never home to watch television and if I only had 200 hours of HD recording time, the family and myself would spend all our time deleting shows instead of watching them.
