Since I have 2 boxes connected to one TV, this app is a must have for me. Works great. One problem though, the free shortcut add on app is not available in the Amazon app store for Kindle Fire HDs. Please make this available asap.

What's new in version 3.8.0- v3.8.0
- * (PRO) New Quick Command notification allows you to use your choice of 3 remote buttons from a secondary notification. Android API 16+ ONLY!
- * (PRO) Added 'Multiple On/Off' (long-press on POWER button) to quickly set power on all or specified networked receivers (primarily intended for restaurants, bars, etc).
- * (PRO) New option to control default behavior when short-pressing on the POWER button.
- * (PRO) Some newer devices complained about missing WAKE_LOCK permission when using that option.
- * (PRO) Built-in Search Assistant 'DVR search screen' macro changed to reflect changes to DirecTV menus. Thanks Gabe!
- * (PRO) Added ability to use volume, mute and input buttons in macros and sending 'power' in a macro now also controls the TV/AVR if one is configured for current DirecTV receiver.

- * (ALL) Added ability to use IR (HTC or Samsung only) to control power on Genie *clients* that are configured for NETWORK control in the app. Obviously your phone or tablet needs to have IR. :)
- * (ALL) If current receiver does not have a volume profile associated with it then volume, mute & input buttons are now disabled.
- * (ALL) IR was not working correctly on Galaxy devices running Android 4.4.3+, ironically due to an Android IR bug being *fixed* in 4.4.3. Thanks for your help Richard!
- * (ALL) Scrolling Remote: Buttons surrounding the navigation buttons are now spaced further away.
- * (ALL) Many other minor changes and bugs fixed.

EXTRA INFO:
-----------
Please note that the reliability of the "Slow Motion" command and macros strongly depend on the responsiveness of your DirecTV receiver. You can adjust macro delays in the Options/Help screen (pro version only as custom macros are not available in the free version).
The default settings should work well for most people but if you have problems with macro reliability, try increasing the delays in 250 ms increments.
If "Slow Motion" and/or macros are still consistently failing to work correctly, please reboot your DirecTV receiver as they tend to get laggy over time.
