Sigh...here's what dish sent me (excuse any weird characters, this is how it came in to hotmail):
Thank you for your email. DISH Network’s DISH Video-On-Demand service allows viewers to skip commercials and other pre-recorded programming without videotape, as well as, pausing live TV, perform slow-motion instant replays, fast forward and fast reverse. The DISH Video-On-Demand’s tape less recording capabilities give viewers complete control of their television to watch what they want at their convenience, including network programs, pay-per-view movies, sports, news or special events. At this time, there are no plans for offering a lifetime or annual DISH Video-On-Demand fee. Customers with an active DISH Player-DVR 510, DISH Player-DVR 522 and DISHDVR 921 model tuners will be charged DVR fees based on programming level (see below).
