This will be the exception. I have a feeling Dish will make a pretty good mint on this one--even with price break.

Will this work on the 622, or do we have to have a 722?

What's this "four hour period" nonsense? (I'm looking at your 1st screen capture.) Is that the new limit of the formerly-24hr PPV offering?

I am still confused about the medium. Is this downloaded via satellite or Internet? It appears to be stored on the hard drive (hence the requirement for DVR receivers), but does that mean it's coming down from wherever slower than real-time? I am guessing "yes" or else all mpeg-4 receivers could handle it: not just mpeg-4 DVRs.

It will be downloaded from the satellite as time and available bandwidth permits. The entire movie will be downloaded and complete before you can view it. So it will be stored on your hard drive and you can then view it.

A lot of HDTV isn't even in 1080i. Add to that the voluminous legacy TV shows that are not in any format of HDTV. We wouldn't be able to enjoy the 1080P experience that often. Right now, HD movies is about the only content that will allow us to enjoy 1080p for quite some time. With the movies being transferred to Blu-ray, there will be quite a lot of content from the movies studios available. However, I'm willing to be that the 2012 Olympics will probably be recorded and offered in 1080p.

I have "Legend" on BR. It will be interesting to test Dish 1080P against the BR version for both PQ and sound.
I'll test when the Dish "rental" is available to me.
