DirecTV’s Internet-connected pay-per-view service is now in beta. Like Amazon Unbox on TiVo, a networked set-top box (HR20 in this case) can pull from a library of content via the Internet. Download speed is variable (obviously) but media can be played back while coming in, and some content does expire. Hit this DBSTalk thread for more details. Not sure how big a selling point this is (compared to Sunday Ticket and Superfan), but it’s a “nice to have” – especially if they load it up with HD content. Speaking of which, where’s my Unbox in HD?
