Just my experience, before HD PPV, I couldn't remember the last time I ordered a PPV. But now I've recorded about 10 HD PPV in the last 6 weeks and so far have purchased and watched 4 of them, with the rest sitting on my HR20 waiting for me to purchase and watch. (Yes, I have D* and not E*, but I thought my experience was ubiquitous enough to post in an E* thread and specifically as a response to this post. I'm NOT trying to start any fight or anything.)

I wonder how often people form Dish or Direct will be ordering ppv hd or otherwise if it does hold true that ppv will be erased from your hard drive within 24-48 hrs after placing a order.

Concur. On another thread regarding the Feb price increases, I postulated that DN would throw us a couple of crumbs to assuage the sting of the price increases. Though it sounds rhetorical, it will be within a couple of weeks or so.
