On Demand Channels Question

[FlyingJ]

Am I missing something here...seems that my son's lowly cable company "On Demand" includes the major networks, I see now that my father's lowly cable company, Time Warner, also has the networks, abc, nbc etc...in their "On Demand", am I missing something because it seems that us smart D* guys don't have those networks on demand, is this the case?
Thanks, Flying J

No your right. The D* version of "On Demand" sucks and is not worth using.

It's missing WWE on Demand too

D* VOD doesn't "suck" as Clemsole put it, it just has different options than cable. It's just that D* has not negotiated with the broadcast networks to add their programing for whatever reason.

Thanks guys. Thought I was seeing all the channels, just thought it was strange that the cable cos. offered this and not D*. Don't need it much with the DVRs and all....just missed something and was shocked to see I couldn't retrieve it.

Make sure you go through the entire list I know sometimes folks do see all of the channels that are there. I think there is more than what most people realize.

Actually Time Warner's VOD is quite awesome. My only complaint of it is, they now make it so you can not fast forward through the enbedded commericals, but still less commericals than if you watched it live.
