DirecTV hasn’t ever really taken part in the growing online market and has been basically sitting on the sidelines in regards to trying new things out. Now DirecTV wants to change that philosophy and has decided they are going to launch their very own video on demand service this spring. The new service is called “DirecTV On Demand” and you can currently test it out in beta mode.

There plans for the service are to offer two methods of receiving the movies and television shows and those are as followed.

1. Through automatic transmission of chosen movie titles which are stored on the subscriber’s digital recorder ready to be viewed.

2. Second method will be through internet downloads of television shows and other additional content.
