On my Time Warner account I was able to order a movie two years ago. Yes, you need digital cable and therefore a set-top box.<BR/><BR/>Everything that IPTV can do, Cable TV will eventually be able to do. In fact, you just gave me an idea for my next blog. Thanx! :-)Anil Gupte's Video Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10155963964740739695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19197835.post-73674122233893136512007-09-19T02:37:00.000-07:002007-09-19T02:37:00.000-07:00Oh, and I forgot to add.<BR/>With real VoD you have possibilites like pause, forward, rewind, etc. Just as if you were watching a DVD. With cable VoD it's just possible to choose a different starting time for a movie (usually every 15 mins or so).Lorenzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05076212253680330896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19197835.post-4097560179395322762007-09-19T02:36:00.000-07:002007-09-19T02:36:00.000-07:00Hi Anil,<BR/><BR/>I think you are not quite right when you say that IPTV doesn't offer anything more than Cable. In fact, real VoD is not yet possible with analogue Cable (or did you talk about digital cable?). <BR/><BR/>Furthermore, Telcos will add services such as Caller IDs on the TV and several other interactive features.Lorenzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05076212253680330896noreply@blogger.com
