Won’t I be able to see more current movies from Netflix, Blockbuster, or Hulu?
No, that is not possible. The cable companies have agreements with many of the major film studios that allows for their subscribers to watch Movies on Demand®. More and more of these movies were recently in the movie theaters and are being made available via Movies on Demand® the same day they are available on DVD (termed “day and date” in the industry). According to leading On Demand distributor iN DEMAND, in just two years there has been more than a seven-fold increase in the number of day-and-date titles offered to digital cable customers nationally.
