What is Video on Demand?

Video on demand, or VOD, has become one of the most popular features offered by cable companies, putting literally thousands of videos - many in high-definition - at the fingertips of their subscribers. Video on demand technology allows consumers to select videos to watch online or through their television sets.

What's on Video on Demand?

A cable provider's video on demand library can consist of thousands of movies; network and premium channel television programs; sporting events and highlights; children's programming; music videos; health and fitness fare; news and weather information; and more. And cable companies continually add movies and program offerings to their video on demand libraries - many of which are free.

Watch Video on Demand Programming at Your Convenience

One reason video on demand is a favorite feature among cable subscribers is convenience. You can sit down and select a video to enjoy whenever your schedule allows. Most selections are always available and others can be stored for 24 hours after ordering to finish later or watch again. You also have options to rewind, fast forward, and pause any program while you're watching it.

Order Video on Demand Through Your Local Cable Provider

All you need to do in order to have thousands of video titles at your fingertips 24/7 is subscribe to a cable provider that offers video on demand in your area. Then, as soon as your cable service starts, you'll have access to the vast assortment of entertainment, sports, and informational programming that video on demand has to offer simply by pressing the menu button on your remote control.

A Front Row Seat to Exciting Special Events on Pay-Per-View

Another feature of video on demand is Pay-Per-View, which offers one-of-a-kind special events for a small fee that will be included on your cable bill. With Pay-Per-View you'll have a front row seat to exciting matches from World Wrestling Entertainment, Ultimate Fighting Championship, Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling, professional boxing, and many other sporting events; live concerts from the world's top musical performers; and newly released blockbuster movies - all from the comfort of your home.

To find out more about video on demand and if it's available in your area, contact your local cable provider.
