When DIRECTV launches its high-speed video-on-demand service sometime next year, subscribers will be able to access a large library of TV shows and movies anytime they want. But if said subscribers are looking for high-definition programming at their fingertips, they're going to have to wait until the company comes around.
DIRECTV's VOD service was expected by many to already be in customer households, but now the watch-what-you-want-when-you-want-it technology will make its way across the country sometime next spring. The new service will enable subs to use a high-speed internet connection to download on-demand programming from the internet to watch on their TVs - at least the non-HD sets, at first.
According to reports, high definition programming via the company's VOD service will not be available at launch but the system is capable and will most likely include it late 2007.
An effort to help the company compete with its cable competition, DIRECTV's video on demand service is rumored to begin with nearly 2,000 movies and TV shows.
