Re: [DIRECTV] Does anyone else really like video on demand?

Thanks for posting this and getting my interest up.

I noticed the other day that I have Video on Demand on my billing but don't really know what it's all about, so I'm off to check it out...

  DirecTV video on demand starts at station 1000, however it isn't populated until a hardwired ethernet connection is detected. Even then it takes about a day, or over night for it to fill in. Once filled in, you can look at your station + 1000 to see what is available for that station via video on demand.

Most of the stuff is free, some of it, like NBC's content is mostly PPV. I prefer to just download stuff which won't cost. NBC has made a distinction however, it charges more for high definition content ($1.99) vs standard definition content ($.99) per program. 30 Rock is an example of this dual pricing. You can buy any of season 1 or 2 for $1.99 high definition or $.99 low definition per episode.
