High Def TV

John, still think it is a good time to hold steady until they wrap internet service onto the dish as well. But that is my opinion.

Also according to the local gurus, you will be able to run a dual channel dvr on a single coax. That will solve many problems in and of itself.

For those of you with the new DitecTV dvr, if you hook up an ethernet cable onto one of the inputs, you will notice options in the menus for Video On Demand.

If will show you a five minutes blurb on how to use the features etc.

This is a beta test of the system and not all the shows are up and running. Also if you download a PPV movie, it loads it but you cant really watch it yet.

The shows work great. Some of the guys at work were talking about the new show "Ax Men", I had missed the first episode.

I went to the VOD menu, searched them, highlighted the episodes and the dvr downloaded them via the net. It puts them in a queue you can watch the download progress and it saves them to your hd just like any other show!

The dvr is completely usable while it is loading shows too.

Cool stuff!
