Hmmm ... No live content. No SciFiHD, no CNN. It's all just VoD. Not that that is an issue, but it needs to be clear.
Nor are they likely to add it because then they run afoul of the congressional mandate on sat TV providers and have to provide all those local TV stations a sat transponder.
At one point DirecTV and DiSH wanted their customers to get OTA instead of having to supply the local singals over the satellite, but Congress and the FCC said no, and the courts said they couldn't violate metro franchise rules.
So, just movies and pre-recorded content. Not that that's necessarily a problem.
