I am paying for the HD service as we have a TV upstairs that is HD - This ones on the list

Anyway, I see nothing in the menu of DirectTV about ondemand. What am I missing?

Best to start your own new thread. Provide more information ....
* What model DirecTV HD DVR do you have? Only the newer HD DVRs provide internet connectivity for On Demand downloads.
* How is your HD DVR connected to your home network and internet?

I'd also suggestion going over to DBSTalk where the DirecTV DVR experts are. They can walk you thru what you need to check/fix.

You may need to run the network setup from the setup menu to confirm that the network is working. If you have more questions on the HR2x series, I suggest asking them at dbstalk.com.

The TiVo Series2 DT DVR is a standalone box that can record shows from two basic cable channels, or from one basic cable and one digital cable channel, at once. It has built-in Ethernet to support a wired broadband connection to the TiVo service.
