I don't think it can as the guide data comes from the sat. I could very well be wrong on this, but I understood that is how it works. Without guide data, you are out of luck.Janice805 said:

I just use it "temporarily" to watch previously-stored movies.
Question: That HR20-700 is close to my computer. Can I plug in my internet connection and get VOD stuff WITHOUT having that receiver plugged into the satellite?
If I cannot, then it's kinda just sitting there useless for a month or two, except for those stored movies.
"I think" if there was a way around this, it would be to order the VOD from the DirecTV website.davring said:I don't think it can as the guide data comes from the sat. I could very well be wrong on this, but I understood that is how it works. Without guide data, you are out of luck.
Good idea VOS, won't cost anything to try. This place amazes me, just when I thought I had heard and read every possible question, a new one comes upveryoldschool said:"I think" if there was a way around this, it would be to order the VOD from the DirecTV website.
The signal to start downloading the VOD is sent over the satellite, so that wouldn't work.veryoldschool said:"I think" if there was a way around this, it would be to order the VOD from the DirecTV website.
