TWC adds HD Movies on Demand in Staten Island, New York

by Darren Murph, posted May 8th 2008 at 9:57AM


Feelin' pretty good about all those new HD channels, are ya Staten Island? For those still not content, how's about a little HD Movie on Demand action? A friendly resident has just sent in a screenshot proving that the service has indeed launched on channel 700, even though he wasn't expecting it until June. Per usual, we've no idea how quickly slowly Time Warner Cable will spread the goods to other areas of New York, but with all of the systems transitioning to digital, we'd guess the wait shouldn't be too long.

Dish Network's CEDIA booth tour

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 7th 2007 at 4:02AM


Dish Network came to CEDIA and left the gloves behind, as it proudly (and rightfully, at the moment) proclaimed to be "the leader in HD" while simultaneously disregarding that other company who'd likely disagree. Within the booth, however, there were a number of enticements, including a placard that stated that Dish On Demand HD would be "coming soon" to the ViP722. Additionally, a wide array of Dish STBs and DVRs were out on display, and one particular ViP722 was located above a sign which announced that "Dish Network IPTV" would be "combining satellite and internet-based entertainment" in the not-too-distant future. Finally, the firm had a demo of how Movies on Demand would be handled and also had a couple of its receivers hooked up to external HDDs, so make sure you peep the gallery for all the photographic minutiae.
