I can't agree with you more blackjax. I like to watch shows when the weather is crappy or I am sick. Other than that, I love to actually live life instead of watching others live theirs.. :-)

That's why I have had Tivo's for so long VOD is intersting but too expensive and for what you all are doing why expend more monies. The only advantage, if they have the movie/show available, is that you don't have to wait for the program to be showed which is a minimal advantage. Besides they just don't provide enough content to make it viable for my use, maybe in a decade they will.
