1080P Channels....

[Cobra611]

I was under the impression that there was only 1, 1080p pay per view channel. But as I was scrolling through the guide, I saw 3 channels offering this. Has it always been 3 channels and not 1?

We are currently growing our 1080p lineups. With more 1080p content via VOD.

I've recently noticed more 1080p programs with the big green checkmark indicating I can watch it right now.

For those with green check I can watch now, does that mean they are already downloadeded to my receiver--taking up my hard drive space?

D* has a reserved portion of all the DVR drives, 50gb-70gb or so. That is where it is.

The hard drive on your DVR is pretty much the only place they can store it.

I'm sure the watch it now stuff is overwritten if you start filling up your hard drive with programs you want to record.

Yes, the green checkmarks indicate that it's already been put on the harddrive, it's downloaded via a satellite channel during various times when both tuners aren't active for your needs.

However the space that it's recorded on is an area that's since day one has been reserved by DirecTV for their use, it'a about 100GB. So having 6 movies or zero movies downloaded to your DVR doesn't make a difference to the space available to you to use.
