Directv movie downloads

[zanass]

I have Directv with a hi-def dvr, they are now offering movies on demand over the internet via cat5 cable.

Does anybody on here use this feature? If so how do you like it?

This household has SKY HD+, so you can pause tv, record stuff etc, and I still find myself downloading everything. I hate adverts, and I hate everything about TV.

I still like going to the cinema for movies, so I have a cinema subscription card, you pay a monthly flat rate fee, and can use the card anywhere in the country.

This may all be irrelevant to your question, but a Rapidshare account is great for TV shows. Sometimes I buy them on DVD, but a lot of show's they don't sell them in HD, but you can download them in HD, so I prefer to do that.

The UK household internet isn't really geared up for movies on demand, my house struggles to get 3Mbits cause I'm 4 miles from the exchange.

What kind of internet connection you got and how much does it cost over there?

I have 10 meg internet and pay $62.00 a month, I am waiting for Verizon FIOS to come to my area they have 20 meg down, and 5-8 meg (i think) upload.

My Hi-Def DVR has an ethernet connection (Cat5) to download movies directly to my DVR, and I was just wonder how that was working out for the people that had this Directv service.
