VOD Rental charge per box or account? Will a one VOD Rental be available to all boxes on account

Thanks

not sure about VOD, but ppv events will show up on all receivers when ordered on one.

Some one please answer this one with authority. I'm embarrassed to admit that I experimented some time ago, but I forgot my results.

VOD is downloaded via internet to the box that you downloaded it to,how would it show up on any other box???

[gqmagic]

Same as PPV, you have to set all the boxes you have to record it that day. Its not automatic, though its only one fee.

You can then watch whichever box you want for the length of time showing for the recording. 24hrs from start to finish per box.

Per box for those still confused

[DishSubLA]

OK, further confusion. The term "record" was used, and that further confused me. Now, let's try to set this straight and, hopefully, get a "straight" answer.

We are referring to VOD: the movies or contents that are already downloaded on the box (no "recording" involved, necessary or possible) and can be accessed by the "Movies and More" portal or at the many channel 501 locations. Those movies a ready for immediately playback in full, as they have been already downloaded to the box and usually have only a 24 hour limit. I believe that is what the OP, and definitely I, were referring to.

The other "On Demand" experience is the DishONLine downloads. This service requires the user to manually choose what they want to download for viewing, whether a TV show or Movie or any other content. This content is immediately downloaded, but cannot be viewed until enough of it is on the drive for playback. I suppose it would be nice to know if this service is charged per box (as I suspect) or per household.

Again, any authoritative, CLEAR, responses would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What are you not clear about?

Try it and see for yourself.

The way I understand it, order it via the remote and the movie is only on the box you ordered it on.

Go online, call 800-333-DISH, or use the automated system and then its on all the receivers on the account.

If you ordered the the event seperatly on 2 receivers at the same time, it would probably be 2 charges

OK, that sounds like when you say "it" you have described the Pay-Per-View billing experience, except for the "probably 2 charges" as for PPV it is only ONE charge, and I know that for sure, even by remote. One just has to go to all the boxes and go through the routine of saying, "yes, charge me," on each box, but it will be billed as a single--only one--PPV purchase, but on the other boxes at no additional charge.

Could you, or anyone else, verify you are talking about the Video-On-Demand service from channels 501 or DishOnLine?

Thanks.

VOD or DOD (Dish on Demand) is MUST be ordered through the remote control.
You can not order DOD through an agent. Dish on Demand is downloaded to your hard drive wach month. It will only be available on the Receiver that you order it on PPV will be as the other person explained.
