In case you didnt notice DirectTV has released a new On Demand service thats in beta. For me this is an huge move in the right direction for Direct Tv. I can't wait to test it out. According to their websit here is what you will need.

To enjoy the DIRECTV on DEMAND service, you need:

* A DIRECTV Plus® HD DVR receiver (HR20 or HR21 model)
* Your receiver must be connected to the Internet
* HD Access and DVR service
* Broadband Internet service with a minimum connection speed of 750 Kbps or higher (DSL or cable)
* A network router with an available Ethernet port
* A land-based phone line connection
* An available wall outlet

You can connect your receiver to the Internet in the following ways:

* Wired Connection: A direct connection between your broadband router and your DIRECTV Plus® HD DVR receiver via an Ethernet cable.
* Powerline Connection: Your home's existing power lines are used to connect your broadband router to your DIRECTV Plus® HD DVR receiver via a Powerline Ethernet Adapter(See "Get Connected").
* Wireless Connection: Your own wireless router and adapter are used to send data from your broadband router to your DIRECTV Plus® HD DVR receiver.
