Just a week after Cablevision announced that it would be offering up fresh new DVD releases through its VOD service, we're now hearing that fans of Discovery Channel will have even more reasons to stop by. Reportedly, the cable operator is adding some 100 titles from Discovery Communications to its free video-on-demand lineup, which will include the likes of Man Vs. Wild and Mythbusters along with TLC favorites Trading Spaces and LA Ink. Additionally, you can expect to receive instant gratification from Animal Planet programs such as Orangutan Island and Planet's Funniest Animals, and if that still wasn't enough, an unspecified amount of material from Discovery Kids, The Military Channel and The Travel Channel will also be made available via Discovery on Demand. So, Cablevision -- when exactly can we expect such lavish gifts in high-definition?[Via MultichannelNews]
...When FiOS gives them more competition. CableVision doesn't do jack shit unless FiOS is eating into their territory. Once some more franchises are granted to Verizon, CV will start adding more HD content. Until then, they're fine with giving us the mostly useless 15 VoomHD channels with 3-year-old repeats and using them to pump up their advertised HD channel total.
Hey, any free services are ok by me. I remember when we first got digital cable from CV, not only did we have Starz and FOX on Demand, but it was FREE. That was nice.
Though I would trade this new addition all for Discovery HD.
This is useless. Give me the Discovery HD family cablevision! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Why is that I can find a free copy of newly aired tv shows, in higher quality than what cablevision airs?
I tried it a few times on a few televisions.
It doesn't work.
Does not work.
You press play, followed by okay, and then....
