    24/7 DVDs

    Are they available for sale from HBO?

    I'd like to buy some for a younger relative to get him into boxing

    I doubt it.




    Just burn some .avi files to DVD-R, they should play fine and in good quality on his DVD/TV.

      Why not download the .avi versions and burn to DVD?

      or

      Convert .avi to DVD.

        I've never done that before but I would try if my CD/DVD drive wasn't jammed shut on my laptop. I think HBO were missing out on $$$ by not selling them, I reckon a lot of people would like to have them, some are classic viewing.

            A 700mb .avi file played on a 40" screen is usually good enough quality.

            You can buy DVD players for £20-30 from places like amazon that play .avi files.

            I download .avi files and burn several films to DVD's to watch on my TV.

              Damn good on all the ones I've download and burned (Mayweather-DLH, Mayweather-Hatton, Pacquiao-DLH, Pacquiao-Hatton), as if you were watching them debut on TV.

                    You can do this with a lot of recent fights, too, being that they're digitally sourced (even a lot of the VHS rips of old fights mostly range from excellent to passable).
