The Cable Guy's definitions

on demand

a program found in the Comcast Digital Cable menu. Turn to channel 1 and the screen will turn black for a few seconds and will say: One Moment Please. Then this menu will show up and you pick the categories, movies, shows, and music. The HBO, Cinemax, Starz, Showtime & TMC On-Demand is free. The other movies, which are brought to you by Comcast, which are new releases within 2-3 years will cost you about $2.00-$4.00.
