OnDemand VCR Control!
WTF, since when has it been possible for OnDemand to disable FF through commercials when watching TV shows!  |

There's your issue. I'm not getting any of that stuff with my ondemand stuff through Verizon. The day Fios became available, I jumped ship from Comcast. |

It is in the agreement that advertisers put in with a shows producers, when a show is going to on demand. They payed for the time and they want their monies worth. Not all shows have the same agreement though. |

most shows on cox have been like that for a while.
luckily they don't go crazy with comercials, maybe 30 or 60 seconds, not 3 mins.
i still always find myself reaching to fast forward.
this is why i dvr all of my favorite show instead of rely on on-demand to watch them.

I've gone to the DVR route mostly. Watching a 60 min show in 40 min without comm's is great! |
