Torture! Slow and Unreliable

Update
3 years later and they still hate their users! They updated their iPhone app so that it now does nothing. No kidding, nothing! Enter the credentials, and I get the Directv logo, a hot phone with and no battery after 30 minutes. $130 a month for this? By the way, their downloaded content viewer is still terrible.

Original
This app is kind of an afterthought. Recording a show requires a lot of patience. Usually 2 or more tries of 5 minutes each.

Trying to use the playlist "feature" is absolute torture. Playing a downloaded show will make you cry! They have removed the fast forward and reverse controls in favor of a linear scrubbing control that is unresponsive and disappears after 5 seconds. After 3 tries at scrubbing, the app freezes. What have we as DirecTVs customers done to make them hate us so much?
