New HD Video on Demand Post for DISH
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 |

Dish has two flavors of VOD - push and pull.
The push VOD appears on channel 501 in your guide, it is downloaded overnight by dish to the VOD partition of the receiver's hard drive. The pull type is under Movies and More in the receiver menu, you request a download and wait for it to be downloaded to your receiver. Some of these are free, others are not. TV shows and movies both in the "pull" area.

If you ask me, I think all the VOD PPV dish offers are scams...
I recieved 2 coupons in mail that said FREE movie... If you read the fine print it says $4.99 Everything I see on my dish guide says $6.99 How do they consider this FREE? I refuse to order anything from these scammers... |
