Washington, D.C. (December 24, 2007) -- DIRECTV has added the High-Definition version of Evan Almighty to its Broadband-enabled Video on Demand service.

The service, which offers roughly 2,000 shows and movies from networks such as Discovery and CNN, is being tested in select homes that have DIRECTV HD DVRs."

On DBSTalk they aren't sure if this is a $ PPV or free.

I downloaded it and it was a free movie. I even checked my purchases and it didn't show up.

It costs $$. Has a $ sign by the title in the category listing.

I think this is gone now as it doesnt show any HDPPV or any HD when I do a search for HD specific items in the VOD menu.

Hmm... with my DSL that should download in about 2 days! I just need to plan ahead!

Great... another reason for me to feel bad about not having a HD DVR.
Course.. I do have an Xbox 360, so unless this service offers much more content I suppose I won't be suffering that much.

It showed a $, but the price was $0.00. I figured that it would take too long to downoad via WiMax, so passed.

It didn't take long for me on my 5 mg dsl. Although, it was only on dolby 2.0 not 5.1 audio. They must be testing HD onDemand my guess.

I still don't see any HD content as of Christmas night despite being properly networked/internet. I can see all VOD channels 1000+, but when I key in 1000 with remote and navigate to HD, nothing is there to select for download.

Same here too, I don't see anything on VoD in HD.
