Yes, that is part of the VOD application that was demo'd at the Western Show last Dec.

 Also, how will content providers store the programming they distribute via VOD? On

The Seachange video server stores the content on RAID5 using the best high
Capacity price/performance disk drives available. As mentioned in the CC this week
Their video server was the first to ship with Seagate's latest 36GB drives.
