E* has plenty of room to host the HD channels that we want and will be doing it in short order. I believe that their strategy is going to be one of making the "Big Splash" rather than trickling in the channels quietly. What Charlie knows is that they can't compete in the numbers game and so...

Just lost it here in CT.

You need to leave the reciever off at your selected update time to download the on demand movies..... I also don't think they have it fully implemeted yet as I only have a few old films to pick from.
