Comcast On-demand

As it turns out, that HDTV of mine will tune to the “on-demand” channels of Comcast. It’s pretty funny seeing what other people are watching.

I’m noticing a pattern in viewing habits. A lot of people that have the “on-demand” service will “rewind” and re-watch a scene over and over again. A few minutes ago, I watched someone re-watch, over and over, a scene from Napoleon Dynamite where Kip gets his ass kicked by the karate instructor.

Another habit that I have noticed is that around 21:00 to 00:00 there is someone who will fast forward porn or a movie with sex, or sex scenes, to the action scenes and the money shots. None of that fluff and filler for them I guess. This evening someone was watching the movie “sex and Lucia” but they were only watching the sex parts, over and over again…

I remember reading something about this on an HDTV forum, but I can’t recall the technical details. What I can basically remember is that I can see the on-demand ‘channels’ for all of the users on my block, or section of the cable broadcast in my area. For now, I can watch a wide variety of movies but I won’t know when they are on and I won’t know what channel.
