Does anyone have DirecTV Cinema? Do they honor OAR?

I'm considering upgrading to DirecTV Cinema, it's a streaming movie and TV show service from DirecTV. Does anyone have this yet? Do they honor OAR? Do they crop 2.35 films to 1.78?

I am not sure but now you can watch most new releases on Directv before Netflix and Blockbuster though they charge $5.99 for every 1080P HD rental.

Fed up with Netflix and Blockbuster.

I don't know if they do OAR across the board, but I've done PPV through DirecTV several times and the 2:35 to 1 movies were OAR.

i assume its similar to comcast on demand. It depends on the movie i think. the Town was OAR, but Case 39 (not my pick believe me) was cropped to 1:78

Is this a new service? The one that they're going to try to get releases 7 weeks after they hit theaters for like 30 bucks a rental (which seems really steep to me but still has all the theaters in an uproar)?
