Hey there all.
Is there a post out there on these forums that explains how ON DEMAND works via digital cable?
A couple colleagues and I were talking about this at lunch and one of them believes that all of the ON DEMAND content is delivered down to a hard-drive in the cable box on off hours. I thought this to be a bit excessive as the number of ON DEMAND items would be just too much to download to a hard-drive constantly to every subscriber, whether they watch the content or not.
The argument then went to "How can you fast forward through it then, if you don't already have the content stored somewhere."
Can anyone point me to a How ON DEMAND Works article or thread?
Thanks so much!
Michael
