    Question about OnDemand file sizes

    I just had my install today & am up and running. Everything's GREAT! It's like Comcast wasn't actually broadcasting in HD & quite surprising how much better the PQ is! I was wondering about the ondemand downloads though. 1. How big is an average 1080p movie? 2. Is there a way to...

    Internet hook up

    If I may hop in here, I had the same question. I have a new install coming this Saturday and was wondering about connecting to the internet. Since It's a new install, I'm assuming I'll get an HR24? Do I just need to plug into my network? Or do I actually need to pay the $25 internet...

    Thinking of switching.

    Awesome, sounds great. I have a few other questions if you don't mind. From the prices on ebay, buying the receivers would pay for themselves in a year or two. Is it worth it to buy a HD DVD & HD receiver off ebay to save the $5/mo lease fee? Or is there no way around the $5/mo? Or are...

    The prices look good. At least for the first year. Does anyone know if you can get directv with NO movie channels? I just want the networks, discovery, scifi, history and stuff like that. Also, what would it cost? The website only seems to let you choose packages with movie...

    DISH NETWORK® UNVEILS BIGGEST HIGH DEFINITION UPGRADE IN TV HISTORY

    wow! I love waking up to good news. I think about the only thing I'm left wanting is Chiller in HD, and I don't think that's even launched yet. I am left with the question however of: Will this be 1920x1080p, or some 1080p lite? 1400x1080p, them spit out from the player @ 1920x1080p?

    Here come the lower BD prices...

    I keep forgetting that BD's victory meant the prices would go up & without HD-DVD there could never be lower prices. :rolleyes: Apparently, the studios forgot this too. Warner lowers Blu-ray pricing - 7/11/2008 - Video Business

    Study: HD DVD's Exit Hasn't Helped Blu-ray

    That's from Jan-FEb. Sales for EVERYTHING go down during that period, after the x-mas season.

    A few decent prices on BD at BestBuy

    I think $20 is the ponit when I'll really start buying. right now I only buy bogos or really good sales. It was the same with DVD though. I initially bought a few titles here and there, then prices dropped below $20 for new releases and I started making a regular trip to BB on Tuesdays. I...

    PS3 gets DTSMasterHD decoding April 15!

    This has really got me considering a PS3 as a second player. Is it correct that it will only internally decode all sound formats? Does it output 7.1?

    BD Live is a Joke!!

    I don't think he was ripping on HD-DVD, just ripping on online content in general.

    BD Live is a Joke!!

    :D Nope. I have enough concerts, bootlegs & have been to enough concerts. Besides that, they (production companies, directors, etc.) wouldn't make anything that compelling an online only extra. They would want the most people possible to have it and put it on the disc. If they were to...
