I just downloaded the app for android and was very disappointed that you must have phone and internet to use this app. Why am I not allowed to remotely control my 4 HD DVR's unless I pay for their phone service?

This App has always been this way. Easy Gadget was originally designed for our phone customers. We added the DVR functionality with this last revision. If you wish to control your DVR we do have a mobile remote DVR page on our website. Simply navigate to brighthouse.com and the rest is pretty seamless.

Thanks for the quick response. I still think it's a bit odd to exclude people that don't pay for the phone service. Using an app would be a lot easier than using a browser on a phone. It's not a big deal at all to me, but it would be cool to be able to use an app to quickly control my dvr.

But we aren't excluding anyone...they were the target audience for the App to begin with. Remember...this was intended for our phone folks from the start. We added the additional functionality this revision for the DVR. There are alternatives for those who don't have phone service as I described above.

Ok, you're not technically "excluding" anyone that was able to use the app before. I understand that I can use a mobile browser to control my dvr remotely. An app would be infinitely more convenient. Is it really that difficult to let customers that don't pay for phone service login to the app? There are apps for everything now (I'm even posting from the Satellite Guys app now.) I love my BHN service & pay them over $200/month. Once again, not a big deal, just kind of annoying
