I've read the alledged owner's manual and still haven't the vaguest idea. Is it useful and accesible? Could someone explain

Nothing yet. But apparently they will be putting stuff in 60GB of disk space expressly reserved for this purpose. Some/most/all (who knows) of this will be of the Pay Per View variety (but better than PPV, for what that's worth, because it will approximate cable's "on-demand").

colobbfan, Welcome to DBSTalk. ;)

Unfortunately at the present, this feature is neither useful or accessible, as it has not been opened-up by D* as of yet. This is basically an area on the R15 that is reported to be used (future use) to push advertising for programming and other related info, but has not seen any content yet. ;)

Edit........And what Walters said. He typed his reply faster than I

Am i missing something, or is there supposed to be content in this area?
I read in the press release regarding Directv's olympics coverage that there was going to be VOD stuff.. (from press release) In addition, DIRECTV will offer more than 100 hours of high-definition (HD) Olympic coverage from Universal HD and up to 200 hours of NBC network Olympic Coverage in HD, as well as more than 15 hours of on demand NBC Olympics content available to DIRECTV DVR customers.but i never got it...
also, the press release about the purchasing of some NBC shows via the dvr was supposed to happen in march(will it be at the end of the month)
i just need to know that there is nothing wrong with my DVR Showcase...thanks!
BTW I have the newest DVR, with the latest software... thanks

cable's "on-demand").

The on-demand I want is "Howard TV" but I doubt it will ever be on satellite.

I second that.
