I know that people used Netflix for their streaming pleasures, but do you guys remember when did you first had On Demand services from your cable? For me, it was probably around the time my family got Time Warner Cable, since I remember using their On Demand services around early 2005. Although, my family got TWC a while before 2005. Maybe around the 90s, but I'm not exactly sure about when they got digital cable.

Several years ago when we first got Cox. Then despite the fact that they were working with us on our bill we switched to Direct TV. Now they had been my Grandparents' provider for several years but they sucked when we had them. The stupid dish would mess up just from a little rain. Now we owe on 4 different bills for them cause of their co service at being billed seperstly. Plus breach of contract. So that's going to ruin my mom's credit when it was starting to get good. But now that were back with Cox were sticking with them.

2008 or 2009 I think.

April 2012, when I bought my own Foxtel subscription

In the late 2000's when Time Warner Cable came to our area.  I remember in the mid 90's there was pay-per-view which was an early version of On Demand, but we didn't have a cable box so we didn't have access to it.

Huh. That's interesting. Another TWC user. I did have Time Warner Cable for a long time, since I lived in New York City and they were probably one of the first areas to put it there.

Sometime in 2003-04. I had Cox and I recall seeing all the access to premium channels that my family and I had that weren't available when we had basic cable.

Wow. So I'm not the only one here who received On Demand services in the early-mid 2000s.

As in other premium channels? I guess I could say that I had Showtime and Starz as I would remember them in the mid-late 2000s.

For Showtime, my favorite show was Dexter. I don't know about Starz. I usually watch their movies.

I've seen that show before. I've watched some episodes of the series, but I wasn't a fan of it.

Isn't that a very old HBO show?

Isn't that a very old HBO show?


Yes it is.

Isn't that a very old HBO show?


Well, it's not that old. It aired from 1995 to 2006, which was when The Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire, Big Love, and other HBO shows were still around at the time. Not from when it premiered, but between the show's production.
