Please, slowly put down your remote on the table....
Now, slowly back away from your TV....
Do NOT, I repeat, Do NOT try Dish Video on Demand....I can't believe that E* thinks that this approach is a good idea - a small selection of bad movies, costs more than PPV (I think), can't DVR it for repeat viewings/other family members/etc.
This technology is just not appropriate for Satellite TV at all. When I've been at my mother's house, I really like the VOD from her cable co. However, E* just needs to realize that this will not work for Satellite & fess' up to that fact & stop trying to provide a half-a##ed implementation of VOD. Myself, I can wait a 1/2 hour for the next viewing on PPV - in fact, we usually just DVR the PPV ahead of when we're going to be watching, so it's almost like VOD anyway.
