^ I haven't downloaded any movies yet, just a demo clip and one episode from Colors. The quality of both was SD. My guess is the film will also be SD, but I will try over the weekend and let you know. I just hate having wires all around and so it is right now not connected to the network.

No separate device is given. Apparently only the TS+ HD boxes have the ethernet port, so at this point of time only those with these boxes are eligible. As regards this 'preview', I guess they will just call you up directly. My best guess is you should get a call if you either have subscribed to their costlier packages or if you have been a long time subscriber. In my case I fall into the latter, and hence I got a call regarding this within a week of installation of my TS+ HD box. You may call them up and ask. Right now there are no fees whatosever, neither for the cable, nor the visit, nor installation nor viewing.
Had received a call good 2-3 weeks back but since I wasn't interested in the service, so refused them. The movies available for download are only in SD. In-fact all content is in SD quality to keep the file size small compared to HD content. As long as they don't have a tie-up with ISP's, doesn't sound very tempting.
^ if it is in SD then many ppl might opt for the torrent route for HD content. coz almost every who has bght the HD box has a hdtv & since they are anyways going to incur bandwidth costs they might as well spend a bit more n get stuff from torrents in HD.i for one wud gladly pay for HD downloadable content. as long as its SD i m gonna stay away.

its SD. but quality is a tad better than their regular broadcasts. Last night i downloaded andaaz apna apna. It took me approximately an hour. Speedtest.net was consistently giving me 4+ Mbps before and after the download. Though the calculation is vague, considering i have no clue of the download speed on the server but that roughly translates to 1.8g which by no stretch of imagination is HD.

OK some gripes now:1. The new software is very very cranky. All sorts of bugs. It always starts out on channel 100 for a start instead of remembering the last channel you were on. 2. You cant start watching content until its fully downloaded. (Stupid if you ask me)3. I dunno but my series recording set disappeared after the new software was installed. Looks unrelated though. But has never happened before with me.

Can you elaborate on this one? I didn't have issues with recording series for the first few days, but past 2 days onwards content isn't getting recorded. I mean the ones which were set for recording earlier
