Hi,
There are four types of On Demand:
Free On Demand-Is free as long as you subscribe to the base channel in your package. You can watch shows, movies, and series within two to seven days after they air as much as you want, as often as you want.
Premium Channels On Demand- If you subscribe to a premium channel in your package like HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, the corresponding channel is included in your subscription. You must subscribe to the premium channel to get its On Demand counter-part.
Movies On Demand- These you pay per title, anywhere from $1.99 to $9.99, which is the cost for same day DVD releases. The average cost for the movies is $6.99 and can generally be viewed for 24 hours after ordering. Review pricing and duration of movie time before ordering, which will be shown on your cable box guide.
Pay-Per-View Special Events- This is a per showing charge for a major sporting event or concert. Each time you see the show, you pay the varied price shown on your cable guide. Wrestling, Championship Boxing, Concerts, and MMA are examples of Pay-Per-View Special Events.
Putting these events in the guide and the duration of the showings is at the discretion of the station broadcaster, or event/movie distributor. NOT SPECTRUM! The same is true for whether or not you are able to fast-forward through commercials for Free On Demand content.
Hope this helps!
