Well, there's a whole section of free movies and if you have HBO or SHOWTIME or whatever, then all of the On Demand programming in those areas is free too. Of course, there's a lot of pay-per-view programming in the On Demand section too.
I do agree with Blackman that the DirecTV with the Series 2 Tivo would be better, but I really dig the On Demand content and the box is pretty good. I will say though, that I think Comcast is the absolute worst company in the world. I think that they have the worst customer service and I truly and honestly believe that they don't care about their customers in the least little bit. Furthermore, I believe that attitude is present from top to bottom in the organization. By the way, does anybody have any ideas about my Flash forms issue from Friday??? --Ferg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Gomez Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 8:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Totally OT: Comcast DVR box Don't they charge for those On Demand movies?
