I seem to be getting some contraditory answers from my earlier post this morning. Two people responded to the original HD VOD question for DISH by saying they had no start up delay after ordering a movie (I'm referring to VOD, not PPV). Two people replied that the VOD service was online only.
In looking at another post, it seems as if DISH delivers one or more movies via satellite to your DVR each month. Are there additional SD movies delivered by this "push" VOD service? If these are the correct options, are users telling me that there is NO start-up delay in using the online service for ordering a movie, or that the movie doesn't experience any "hiccups" while it is running?
I can believe that the movies sitting on your DVR from satellite delivery have no start up delay, but not the online delivery. Is there additional VOD content available via the satellite delivery service (HBO on Demand, etc.)? I'm in NYC and can't trial the service by going to a retailer as they can't get the rights to put a satellite dish on the roof of their commerical building.
Thanks,
John
