When is VOD available for the 510?

[iafirebuff]

Does anyone know when the VOD feature will be available for the 510? I thought it was due by now, but as of Sunday, I don't have it yet. TIA!

Can't answer your question, but VOD on Dish is a waste of space IMO. Be careful what you wish for.

no kidding, I would be mad if my 510 HD space was chewed up my VOD crap from dish.

When and how can I disable it on my ViP622 or 625? seems to be the more popular question.

Yep, it is crap. Too bad you can't disable it.

it doesn't take up alloted space on your hard-drive for recording, Dish had space built-in for things such as VOD. you have the same amount of HD space to record on whether VOD is there or not.

VOD already working on 508 and 510 PVRs running P309; I saw a snapshots from 508' screen.

Yep, I have had it on my 510 for almost two weeks.

Yeah - but the physical drive space is reserved for VOD and we can't use it for real recording.

The ONLY reason for that is E*s greed.

I have 3 movies downloaded and ready for showing. Too bad as I would never use this service, i would prefer to use the space for recordings i want.

But on the 510, since no space was alloted for it from the beginning (that I know of) then I want the "VOD designated" space back on my 510 till they start using it. I am just speaking hypothetically here as I know alot of people have swapped drives in the 510's and have never reported having less disk space then they put in.

I do realize on the VOD enabled receivers we never lost any space, but on earlier receivers did they set aside space for this? That would be forward thinking and I have never seen them do that.

Those disks formatted same way at factory from day one. No changes since.

Just curious, how do I get the VOD feature on my 510? I have it set for automatic downloads of updates. TIA!

I've got it on my 622...you can have mine. I sure as heck won't ever use it!
