Just another fine example of the executive mentality who couldn't run a paper route properly!
I will only say this to those CEO's .......

Eventually you myopic bloodsuckers will learn one thing. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.





Just my 6 cents. (It went up because of oil)

okay i dont even want to get into the real reasons for this but if i PAY for a PAYPERVIEW or ON DEMAND movie i WANT to be able to fast froward threw oh say i am watching a movie that is good but there is a scene that i don't want my kids to watch i cant FF threw it?! for get about the commercials there are other reasons & this just made there DR USELESS!!! lmfao!

Wow.. I was just about to switch from WOW to Comcast. Glad I read this. Even if I do save 7 bucks a month going to CC, I'll stick to Wide Open West. Now, lets see. Hasn't it always been the MASTER PLAN for big television to stop us from getting past those stupid ass comercials? Whatever heard of the feature "commercial skip"?

It's already bad enough that the networks zap banners across the screen AFTER the commercial break, promoting anything from products to the show that comes in 15 minutes.

I'm just waiting for every sitcom and reality show personality to wear a shirt that resembles a Club America jersey, and hop into their "NASCAR".

I was worried when the title said Comcast, but after reading and Finding it was Cox, and not Comcast, I'm a bit reassured. They chose a bad road to go down, I hope it doesn't actually spread to other companies like Comcast, etc. It may be good to note a change in the misleading title, however.

Well, that sums up the Corporate mentality. Don't grow with technology. Stunt growth. Slow progress to keep the money filling the pockets.

You don’t need TiVo if you have fast-forward-disabled video on demand. It gives you the same opportunity to catch up to your favorite shows.

Is it just me, or is that a very good reason to get a tivo? Why would i want to pay the cable company for commercials? That is just as bad as the bastards that abuse Prohibited User Operations on DVDs for commercials. I am so sick of the constant bombardment of advertisements in any and every imaginable form of media. Whats next, the commercial channel? Pay-Per-View commercials? I think i will stick with broadcast TV, at least they have a reasonable excuse to show ads(you don't pay for it).

Boy they just keep getting Dumber And Dumber everyday.

HMMM does ANYONE remember the days when you got cable because IT DID NOT HAVE COMMERCIALS!!!!! Bend over America here comes the corporation!

Here around Houston Cox was bought out by Comcast, so they are now one in the same.

Fastforwarding is key thing to have when dealing with online video content. I just wish executives realize this fact that yes we do want this function so that we can fast forward past the crap ads you put before the actualy video that we wanna watch.

Well no fast forward.. what's next, not being able to change the channel during a comercial break? Well people, it's time to get our BIG FAT assess off the couch and take a walk around the block. Don't hear anyone bitching about not being able to fast forward DVD's past the FBI warning and some trailers to go right to the menu. Thank god for 1clickcopy.

I could understand them disabling the fast forward function if the video was to be streamed via the Internet. After all, *someone* has to to pay for bandwidth, and if this is a free service, then it would be a legitimate way to go.

But if this is to be a *pay* service, then the media company execs need to wake up, and get a clue. No one wants to pay for video they are *forced* to watch. This is akin to putting ads on the DVDs you buy, advertising other movies - and they play *before* you you even get to the DVD menu(s). The only thing this is used for is for people to get their popcorn ready for the movie they originally bought the DVD for.

Cheaters. Shame on you !!

that's so true I can remember when cable barely had any comercials.Now you have to watch them on on demand aswell.

That's so you won't be able to fast forward through the adverts they will start shoving in the pay per view programming...
