Video on Demand seems like a great way to go. I have Dish Network and I'm offered a bunch of PPV and VOD programs. I'm hesitant to take advantage of this technology though. I think it's a hold-over since just a few years ago PPV programs were very expensive and generally the programs offered on PPV besides sports were not exactly family friendly.
I like the Entertainment Information Merger. When I lived in town, we had Charter, and you may groan at their customer service but having cable tv, really fast internet and cheap phone service all on one bill was awesome! I know I sound like a freakin' commercial but now I pay too much for crappy satellite programing and I sit way, way, way too long at my computer as my dial-up modem blazes away at a full 26.4 kbs and my wife witches at me for tying up the phone line. And by the way, this may be a flat world, but the "second shift" that was outsourced to India did not do a very good job helping me trouble shoot why I could achieve the full 56 kbs that my connection was capable of when I started my AT&T service. I think they scaled me back after they figured I was in for a while. Their media convergence hasn't done me any favors.
