Questions about Starz VOD for DTV
Last night I checked out the Showcase icon in the DTV menu for my DTivo. In the Showcase menu there was a Starz VOD icon. I selected the icon and was taken through the process of signing up for the free trial period of this VOD service. I signed up for it and it enables to you watch 5 pre-selected Starz movies a week any time you like.
I called DTV and asked them how long the free trial period would last and was told for six months from Aug 02 to Feb 03. The csr did not have pricing info or any other info. My question for anyone that can answer it is, Have any of you heard of this service being provide by DTV? Secondly, with VOD I thought that you could pick any movie that Starz has in its movie library to watch any time you like. Isn't that supposed to be the case? Also the crs said that non-Tivo recievers cannot use the VOD service at this moment. It seems to me that all recievers should be able to use such a service.
