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 atrip to the video store.

Are you tired of paying late fees? With On Demand, you pay for programs for aspecified 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?Check out the Main Catalog. Cablevision may offer content that is not available at thestore. For example, the latest wrestling, concerts, boxing matches or other special eventscould be offered for purchase on On Demand shortly after the event originally airs.

Do you want to eliminate the clutter and fuss from your home? 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.
