The Beauty of Video on Demand
Video on Demand is a system where television viewers can
access movies anytime they please. The service allows you to
select a program from a central server that you can then view at
home from your own television. The benefit of Video on Demand is
that you get access to a new release movie almost
instantaneously. So why hasn't everyone switched over?
One of the reasons that everyone has not made the switch to
video on demand is because it is hard to change. Some people
just get stuck in the past and cannot move on. These people say
to themselves, "but I like it this way and I understand it
so why should I change?" This hesitant behavior to the new
and unknown happened with the Internet, CDs, DVDs, and now with
Video on Demand. People are stuck on their VCRs and cannot rid
themselves of this old and useless technology that is no longer
adequate in satisfying the consumer's needs. It is time to move
on from the VCRs and go to the greener pastures of video on
demand. Here are just three reasons why you need to switch if
you have not already:
1. Video on Demand is more convenient. Video on
Demand is much more convenient than your VCR. With your VCR,
whenever you want to watch a new release movie you have to go
all the way to the video store to get it. With Video on Demand,
new release movies are available with a click of a button. You
can choose what you want to watch and either download it onto
the hard drive of a DVR or a computer or you can streamline it from the
server. With Video on Demand, when you want to watch a movie you
can watch it right then and there. With a VCR, there is a lot
more waiting involved.
2. Video on Demand is a technology with great
potential. Video on Demand allows you to watch better
television. The quality of picture and sound is vastly better
with 100% digital quality. Also, right now you can store 100
hours of Video on Demand programming on you DVR. That is much
better then having 50 VHS tapes lying around the house.
In addition, other uses for the Video on Demand technology are
being found, including the ability to watch lectures from
university classes. With this technology, you can watch your
classes whenever you choose to and at whatever speed. This is
already being done in several colleges in the nation. There is a
great potential for the Video on Demand technology.
3. Video on Demand gives you freedom. On top of
the usual fast forward, rewind, pause, play, stop functions that
your VCR has, most Video on Demand systems allow you to skip
ahead or skip back. Another additional feature is the choice of
how fast to fast forward or rewind (2x, 4x, 16x, 300x, etc.).
Video on Demand allows more freedom in your television
viewing.
With all of these wonderful features, the only reason that you
could possibly still not be convinced that it is time to switch
from your VCR to Video on Demand is if you are still too scared
of the change. Do not be scared just because it is not familiar
to you. It is not that much more complicated than your VCR, an
instruction manual or all your neighbors that have already made
the switch will be able to answer whatever questions you might
have. Do not miss out any longer on all the benefits that Video
on Demand has to offer. Make the change today.
