are they going to offer actual channels / networks or is it strictly movies, music and games on demand?

is the equipment free, leased or straight purchase?

Losing the contents of my EHD for my Dish DVR is also something that bothers me. I'm looking into a backup strategy at some point, the disks are basic GNU/Linux ext3 formatted volumes, so in theory it's at least possible to copy the movies to a back-up location but it's not clear to me that copying them to another EHD will "just work". I'll have to play with it.

At this point I'm interested to know if XStreamHD will work as an on-demand PPV service, or use a subscription model.]]>Dec 18th 2008 10:30AM
