| [VOD] no local news on-demand? We used to have kdka and wtrf local news on-demand here. I looked the other day and NOW have NO NEWS on-demand.
Did comcast quit offering news on-demand? |

| Your Station might have quit because TWCKC gets KCPT and Metro Sports On Demand but Comcast doesn't. |

I've never seen local news on demand. I would guess no one was watching, as a news stations website is a faster way to get old information.

Timeshifting (watching shows when you want to) is one reason for a DVR. |

| not when your dvr fills up quickly. Never realized how little space 500gb is. Comcast needs a 1tb dvr. |

kudos:1 | In the SA/Cisco set-top box markets, you can add an external hard drive. External hard drives are being tested in the Motorola set-top box markets.
Or you can get a second or third DVR etc. for more storage and to record more shows. I don't think you can have a second DVR if you have AnyRoom DVR functionality. |

That's what the 10/11pm news is for. Most local stations around here also let you watch the broadcast via the web anytime. Hell of a lot cheaper to do that then produce video for VOD.

Well considering KDKA is outside your local DMA, your (actual) local CBS affiliate probably forced CC to remove all KDKA related prog - INCLUDING OD prog.
Considering the market you're in, & the makeup of your (few) actual local stations, I'm surprised WTRF EVER had OD for CC.
Like was already told you, THAT'S what you have a DVR for.
Or you could maybe use that PC you have & watch it OD to your heart's content.
So when ARE you going to switch to DirecTV once & for all...so you can then start kvetching about all it's shortfalls in the satellite forum. (& trust me - it HAS them...  ) |

| Local news on demand is available in the Bay Area still. Perhaps the stations stopped participating for some reason. |
