The ONLY way I order and HD PPV is if the movie title is nowhere near a Blu-Ray release.
At the ridiculous prices they charge, there is NO WAY I will EVER order another one again unless I'm allowed to keep it on the PVR indefinitely.

Sorry, I don't really understand what part you don't agree with. Are you disagreeing that DirecTV should keep letting people record these movies and keep them for the $4 or $5 it costs per movie? That's the same thing as a rental store letting you keep/buy the movie at rental price. I certainly wouldn't do that if I owned a rental shop.

I know that most people just order the movie and watch it once. Maybe they record it to DVR but like I said above, it doesn't make sense for the customer to be able to keep it forever. And the prices are about the same, maybe a little more than iTunes and I would chalk it up as a convenience fee (plus it saves on gas )

A company isn't going to change it's policies just because it's not available on a certain format yet. Just be patient, and if you can't wati, there is alway the DVD to hold you over.

And just for the record it's not just DirecTV, ALL the providers have to implement it.
