I use the VOD on my directv from time to time. You don't have to pay for all of them. There are quite a few movies to choose from that are totally free, it downloads to the hardrive in your player. It stays "good" for a few days until presumably you delete it or it becomes unwatchable to you.
They have a lot of older movies in HD on it for free to download that won't be coming out on blu anytime soon that I like to revisit. Stuff like the mighty ducks, 3 ninjas, surf ninjas, the indian in the cupboard, etc...
They do have a few 1080p premium VOD movies to download that are NOT available on blu ray. Most notably of the two that I have thought about ponying up the cash to download and watch in 1080p are planes, trains, and automobiles, and pretty in pink.
