Direct TV On Demand - Nothing free???

[jeffincolo]

What is the deal with Direct TV On Demand? 3.99 for Karate kid? I thought there were supposed to be thousands of free movies but the only ones I see are from the channels I already have and could more easily record them than download from the internet. Everything else costs $$$. I was expecting something more like what Comcast has with tons of free movies and content outside of the programming guide offered on demand.

what exactly are you looking for for free; specifically? I get plenty for free.

 

[jeffincolo]

Movies and programming that I don't already get on the channels I pay for. Are you getting something free besides that?

On your DVR, go into the guide and type in channel 1000 and scroll from there. You'll see plenty.. What you're seeing now is just the PPV.

there are options to sort out the paid for content . in total if you really look 80 percent of ondemand is free . If your doing it via intnernet you have the full catalog if via satellite then you have a much more limited ondmeand catalog.

How do you sort out the paid-for content? I'd like to see just the free stuff but I'd say 90% of the items in my on demand stuff has a "$" next to it. I'm connected to the Internet. Thanks.

the only things I see that have a $ next to them are the new movies and the adult ones

most everything else is free

I love seeing some of the older music videos on VH1 classic (1337). Some stuff I havent heard in a while...noticed on AMC they had a bunch of 3 stooges stuff...woo hoo!

To see if a channel has VOID just add a 1 in front of the channel
