Thanks for the feedback and the link about the X-1.
I believe there are two Comcast VOD services, the traditional one you are
using, and the new IP based service. Do you have access to 250,000 programs as
is the case with the IP service?
The IP service is also available in some areas via apps on tablets and
smartphones; clearly this is not QAM and MPEG-2.
