I checked my recorded list last night and had this bizzare message recorded on it. How lovely eh? They do clearly point out MOVIE studios are to blame, but its still annoying, I wonder if they start losing any business on this avenue, if movie studios change their minds...

Hate it - but on the upside, the only time we have ever used the PPV feature is when DirecTV is giving us free movies to watch. We have never actually purchased any. Still, it's pretty lame and we have started seeing the messages show up in our list. What a joke.

Preferably, you say it with a British accent. It's more fun that way.

once the again, the consumer is getting hosed. 24 hours is a simply ridiculous time frame. looks like i will be spending more time at blockbuster. at least there i get 5 days and get to watch the dvd bonus features as well.

No blue ray yet for me. going to wait it out until prices fall on the players. hopefully, at some point, they will. Not too mention, with having a DVR, we just do not watch as many DVD's as we used to.

as for renting dvd's, i am cool with watching them for comedies. however, i probably will opt to go pay per view if it is an action movie in hd.
