What Movies and more? So Movies on Demand, Well if you want HD in that ,My guess HD PPV. again if you were connected to the internet Channel 501 has 17 VOD options as well as 1080p VOD.
I don't think internet is required for channel 501/Movies-on-demand, only the DishOnline stuff.
I am sorry I guess I did not help after all. I thought that the movies there were exactly the same ones as those on Ch. 501. They are for me but perhaps that is not true for all.
Actually, you are 100% correct! Channel 501 VOD movies are the same as the ones listed in Movies-on-demand, except for the one 1080p "I am Legend" movie.
You guys are helping very much so. However, I still maintain that the 612 is not offering the VOD movies in HD that the 722 is.
Based on what Hemi is saying, I checked the program guide on both units. Now I see on the 722 that the movies listed in HD on the Movies-on-Demand page are the same ones that are in the guide as channel 501. So that part is true with the 722. When I choose the "All HD" guide on the 722, there are six channel 501's, and yes they one-to-one correspond to what is listed on the Movies-on-Demand interactive application, with the exception of the "I am Legend" 1080p. So, this is a new discovery for me which is in total agreement with what y'all are trying to tell me.
Now when I check the 612 "All HD" guide for channel 501 movies, only 1 is offered, that being the "I am Legend" 1080p. There are no other HD VOD movies offered on the 612 in either the program guide 501 channels or the Movies-on-Demand interactive application.
That brings us to my original question which is: "Why on the 722 and not the 612?" Lets get to the bottom of this! We can start by asking this:
Does anyone, on a VIP612 DVR, have VOD movies available in HD other than "I am Legend" listed either as a channel 501 or as a movie-on-demand?
What difference does it make if its in HD? You asked about HD movies. Tell us what movie do you want to watch in HD then On Dishnetwork?
It makes all the difference in the world. Let's say I want to put the 612 on the biggest TV in the house (Which I do). Let's say I want to watch "The Bank Job" and I want to watch it in HD only (Which I do). Problem is the HD showing of that movie is not available on the 612 but IS available on the 722. This is unacceptable to me especially since this is supposedly a HD only package, namely TurboHD Silver w/o top 200 SD add-on.
That's where I say "whoa", why is it in HD on the 722 and not the 612? Is the 612 not capable of doing that? Shouldn't it be the same on both? Will the 612 in the future offer VOD movies in HD? Why did Dish Network bother with such a unit? Why didn't I take two 722's instead of 1 722 and 1 612? Arrrgh!
They are . You did help. This guy Just wants them to show up in a certain area , Well sorry It doesn't work that way.
Yes, it DOES work that way, my friend! This is true on both 612 and 722. The only glaring difference being the 722 movies are HD but the 612 movies are not. This guy (me) wants HD VOD/Movies-on-Demand on the 612!! That is the core of my complaint.
