|  [Off Topic] Tulsa now has on-demand cable
Check channel 1, not sure about surrounding areas...
So far it looks like there's quite a bit of content, although on TWC in California I'd seen more episodes of the same show offered. Another complaint is the menu - please, PLEASE make it to utilize the remote more; arrowing over to buttons is tedious, especially to get to the frequently-used back button. |

| Tulsa hasn't had it for a while, we just got it this week. Some of the outlying suburbs have had it for about three weeks now.
Response of the controls seems slow, but I'm using the old remote. Guess I'll need to run back up to the Cox center here and get one of the new fangled silver remotes for the DCT6412. |

1 edit | The site at cox said "TULSA" for a while. I'm only reading it.
(cox.com "ondemand")
What box are you using?

Tulsa, OK | Motorola, and just because the site says we've had it for while, doesn't mean all of us have. Most of the core of Tulsa just got it on Thursday. I know my brother (who lives in Broken Arrow) has had it for about three weeks. |

Aw, really? I just found out last night because my father-in-law told me. I have the silver remote for the DCT6412, it's slow too, and you don't gain navigation from it as far as I can tell (still have to navigate via the on-screen buttons). |

2 edits | Omaha has the same remote and Ondemand and I have no slowness with it. What firmware version and software version on on the 6412? Also if avalable the 6416 and 3412-3416 are faster than the 6412.
It might have to also do with what video on demand software your area is using.Can you post a picture of the ondemand menu?

1 edit | Well when we get it, I can tell you about my experience. I've played with Adelphia ondemand and it was responsive on a SA 2000 box.

I played with it at a friend's house and found it very slow. And this was on one of the newer style HD DVR rigs. I wasn't impressed with the content or the prices. I kept asking him...what was with all the hype they were giving it??

Mary Esther, FL | Hopefully that will be fixed soon. (probably when the new IGUIDE software becomes available)
I just want it so I can start a movie that's currently playing. It's annoying when a movie is on and 1/2 over.

You can't rewind a movie that's on a channel you tune too.... |
