Feb. 27--Comcast Corp., the state's largest cable television provider, is rolling out a new digital video service that combines instant access to a variety of programming with VCR-like controls for rewinding, pausing and fast-forwarding.
The service, which Comcast calls "On Demand," is available in 47 Connecticut towns and should be available in all 59 communities served by Comcast by the end of next week.
Available to Comcast's digital cable subscribers, the On Demand service allows users to choose from 1,000 hours of movies, children's shows, sports, information and entertainment programming at the touch of a button.
