Do you want to watch programs at your convenience?
Unlike traditional pay per view,

specific viewing times.
Do you want VCR-like control when watching your favorite programs?
With On
Demand, you can briefly
PAUSE
the program,
REWIND
and
PLAY
a portion of the
program again,
FAST-FORWARD
to watch a specific scene, or

Have you gone to the video store only to find that the movie you want is sold out?
With On Demand, the movies you want are available when you want them — without a
trip to the video store.
Are you tired of paying late fees?
With On Demand, you pay for programs for a
specified time and eliminate the hassle of returning rentals to the store on time.
Are you looking for programs that are not yet available in stores or for rent?

Although VCR
tapes and DVDs offer many desirable features, they do take up room in your home.
With On Demand, you eliminate the clutter and fuss.
