.99 cent ppv movies starting April 16th

Any HD found?

 

Ordered and recorded Argo and Skyfall last night.

 

It's really rare for us to order PPV (usually just run to Redbox) but at $.99 we'll do it. Watching ARGO now and later today, probably Skyfall.

 

I've never ordered a PPV Event & never will.

 

That's how I feel about it also. Getting ready for Skyfall to start right now

 

Thanks for the headsup, dennispap.

Just tuned in to check it out, got a "limited recording" note in yellow on the confirmation dialog box.

Anyone know what that means?

 

code #887 if that helps.

 

DRM - time limited

 

sorry, don't understand.

 

Ok, never mind, think I have it now. Pay, record, watch once within a 24hr period.

I guess.

I watched Skyfall then Taken 2 and I wondered would Argo also have been filmed in Istanbul? And it was.

 

SWEET! Ordered Taken 2. Can't understand why this has not been done before. Of course I would rather order from home than go to Redbox. I hope these 'sales' become the norm.

 

Limited Recording means once you begin viewing the recording event (PPV), you have 24-48 hours, depending on the event, to view the recording as many times as you like. The time does not begin until you actually begin watching the event the first time. If you don't watch the recording immediately, it is saved to your DVR HD several weeks before you relinquish access to the movie if it is not viewed within that time frame.

 

I remember last time this was offered. I recorded one and did not get around to viewing for a few weeks. When I tried, it was disabled.
What's up with that?

 

The rumor is this is a market test. If Dish can make the same amount of money on 99 cent due to the increased number of purchases they will do this all the time just like RED BOX.
The idea is RED Box makes money on older movies like these, so can Dish on 99 cents.
Please rent all 4 if you can before it expires.
