Off subject - negative reflections Shopping for Christmas and TV viewing tells me that the cable companies are still clueless in regards to marketing. Best Buy, Circuit City you name it are pushing DVD machines. DISH and Primestar are pushing mini dishes. My mediaOne company sent me glossy advertisements for an internet connection service with nothing on VOD. Even Blockbuster has reduced prices and stock new releases. If I owned a cable company and was planning on VOD in 1999 I would be promoting the hell of of it now. Even with the phone calls. At least get people to consider not buying those toys because VOD would cost less. And speaking of MediaOne. Are they nuts ? Scientific Atlanta is in their backyard and they have not signed up for the Explorer. They (and I) have the 8600 set top and have put down fiber. AND I'LL BUY IT NOW.
