I already have VOD, it's called "The internet", and Netflix.

I also have VD, but that is beside the point ;-)]]>Oct 23rd 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/Oct 23rd 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/Oct 23rd 2009 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/If FiOS was in my area Comcast would be gone.]]>Oct 23rd 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/Oct 23rd 2009 11:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/

Of those "thousands" of titles are stupid things like cars for sale or video dating vids or other local crap that no on watches.

Now, if they had 17,000 HD tv SHOWS or MOVIES that would be different. I wish someone had the time to go and do a pie chart of all the on demand stuff that each provider offers and compare HD to SD. And compare stuff you have to pay for with stuff that's free. Also some stuff on demand is only available if you subscribe to premium channels so technically, it costs extra to watch.]]>Oct 23rd 2009 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/Oct 23rd 2009 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/
Not to mention the pickings are really VERY slim. Not to mention 30% of what I scroll through is 3 minutes and under.]]>Oct 24th 2009 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/Oct 24th 2009 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/Oct 26th 2009 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/
For those who claim Boku, Hulu, blah-blah-blah has their VOD - two questions - a) does it display on your large Hi-def TV? (if not, sorry for you). b) can you get premium content/movies from those sites (I already know the answer, and am therefore sorry for you).

Don't discount VOD, folks. It will only become more important going forward, and Verizon is currently lagging behind Comcast.

As for linear vs. VOD talk -- personally, I don't watch 100 HD channels, let alone 100 channels in general. I think it's wise to stray away from the whole 100 HD's and go for more content available when you want to watch it. If you go to a Comcast market with 40 - 50 HD's, I think you'll find that you have all of your major channels / network providers covered, and it's quite sufficient.

Let the trolling rebuttals ensue...]]>Oct 26th 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/comcast-has-issues-with-verizons-fios-vod-claims/Oct 26th 2009 1:35PM
