If there is one iPhone app that you will see among the top 10 downloaded application at the Apple App Store, it would be the DIRECTV DVR Scheduler.

The new app allows customers to tap the DIRECTV icon on their iPhone or iPod touch to begin remotely scheduling and recording DIRECTV programming on their home DVR , wherever they are.

To date, the DIRECTV DVR app has amassed a over 100,000 times of download since its launch last March 30, 2009, earning it a spot on the top apps to have over at the Apple App Store.

The new app combines the innovative Multi-Touch user interface of iPhone and iPod touch with an improved search function that enables users to quickly browse the entire programming guide by channel or date and time and schedule programs up to 14 days in advance. A keyword search option also lets the viewer search DIRECTV shows by actor, title, and description and the guide can be customized for easier viewing and program selection.

Once a program is located, viewers have detailed information like air date, duration, and description at their fingertips. The most popular shows will display a colorful graphic that can be tapped to view more images of the cast.

DIRECTV customers can then easily set a remote recording with additional options and settings, and simply touch to record.

The DIRECTV DVR Scheduler app is available for free from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch.
