Not widely known yet, but the satellite industry is required under contract with movie studios to ERASE all the recorded PPVs on your DVR as of 2/1/08. That's correct - all saved shows on hard drives will be erased and any new PPV purchases will be viewable for only 24 hours and then erased. It affects Direct and Dish.. wait until customers get wind of this!!!

This is how apple, Xbox etc handle their DRM.
You can have movie on your box for 30 days but once you hit play you have 24 hours to watch.
Problem with this for me is let's say at 8pm I sit down to watch a movie. I get tired at 8:45 and go to bed. The next night I sit down at 8:30, too late, movie gone at 8PM.
They should allow 48 hours at least.

Then I will never order another PPV, if this is actually true. If it does happen, I can only imagine the lawsuits by advocacy groups.
I haven't heard anything, and we just had our briefings yesterday and today as well.
This was reported by people against the Internet Tax who had also had both their kidneys removed. 
Also, all PPV movies go to fund Reptilian Aliens who masquerade as the Great Banking Families and who oppose the Grey Aliens.
The PPV change was reported two centuries ago in microscopic print on the back of Dollar Bills.
Oh, and everything crucial to your life is reported by people with 2 prior posts on the site.

We don't buy ppv, we check them out from the local library. Takes a bit longer than renting or getting a ppv but it's cheaper.
Exactly... PPV's HD selection sucks all the time. I just add an HD-DVD or Blu flick to my queue on Netflix, and wait a few days... (Movies are better when they are in 1080p and not overcompressed anyways
).
we don't do PPV's....So it doesn't effect us..Besides, if one wished to record the event ,why not record it as they are viewing it..
People panic over everything.
Improvise, overcome ,adapt.
Well, if you want one of those for free, mycokerewards still has the same 3 overpriced ones they've had since the program began for the low price of 13000+ points. That's over 4000 20oz cokes.
For a product that is soon to be obselete. They should put it on clearance already. Who knows, it might be a collectors item someday. The $1000 deuce that bill gates dropped. 
Just dump all the PPV channels and free up some transponders. It's not like they don't need more transponders. Even if they weren't planning on adding a single channel, there are quite a few that need more bits.
well i only ever ppv 'ed once,about 2 days ago, i guess i burn it to DVD now,thanks.if it is not true,ahhh, oh well
