DISH Network looking to offer movie downloads via IPTV?

With all the zany competition going on in the television world, it’s not too surprising to see DISH Network hopping on the (quickly growing) movie download bandwagon. Apparently, the satellite provider is readying an IPTV service to offer “SD and HD quality movies, music, adult programs, entertainment news, and other services such as CinemaNow.” While some of the content would presumably be free, other things like download-to-keep films would demand a one-time charge, and while the on-demand offerings could be accessed whenever you desire, “certain programs such as international channels and music services will be streamed in real time.” Of course, the eventual success (or failure) of the program will likely depend on how zany (or reasonable) the pricing structure ends up being, and if all goes as planned, the service will reportedly go live on February 15th, 2007.
