It takes 13 - 20 hours to download a two hour movie?
Because it takes 13-20 hours for the damn thing to download a movie from DirecTV. Once you've finally got it downloaded, it goes *POOF* and you're screwed.
The movie industry can go to hell. They aren't feeling #### from the economy. They're counting their billions in profit and seeking more regulation to make sure you pay them $10 to get screwed out of seeing a movie.

I have absolutely no clue what he's talking about. When we order a PPV movie from Directv, it's there that second.

Torrents open up multiple connections to download faster. Wanna see how quickly you can eat up all the bandwidth though.

The posters are talking of two different things. PPV on DirecTV is when you buy the showing, there are many movies with staggerred start times. The DirecTV apparently is setting the delete time to 20 hours. Have not noticed it, but don't use much PPV. Is it the new DirecTv DVR only, or also the older models, like mine, that are DirecTV Tivo's.
People with newest DirecTV DVR's have another option, last I read in Beta testing, of downloading a movie via Internet to their DirecTV DVR. I think this is the system people claim is slow.
That is the problem when people go off in differesnt directions on these posts without making clear which system they are talking about.

just buy a stand alone dvd player with built in burner. then run the out output on your DVR to the burner. Then just hit play on your DVR and copy on the burner. It is the same processes as copying a VHS movie.

On the Right Side.
You may be able to put a DVD recorder in line and record it, then they can not delete it.

When we get PPV on DirecTV, we just use our DVD recorder. SO when we watch the movie for the first time, it gets recorded to a DVD. If not il copy it off the hard drive and put it into divx format.

Wife and I were in Staples last weekend. I happened to spot some DVDs for around 5.00. Looked a little closer, and read that they were only good for viewing for a certain period of time, once you played them the first time. It's all FM to me, the technology, that is, but I can't imagine paying 5 bucks for a movie that you can't watch after the first week.

I have copied many shows, movies, etc. from DirecTV Tivo to VHS and now DVD, no problems yet.
DIVX was a failed format of DVD pushed by Circuit City which required special players, hooked up to telephone and the time you first watched was recorded at their system and after a period of time, you had to pay again. Naturally, it flopped.
