Cox disables ad skipping on ABC and ESPN VOD content
Source: enGadget
_______ The constant battle between impatient television viewers and disgruntled providers got a shot of adrenaline today, as Walt Disney's two biggest channels have inked a deal with Cox Communications that is sure to simultaneously appease marketers and enrage customers. Reportedly, Cox will now begin to "disable the fast-forward feature that allows viewers to skip ads" in both ABC and ESPN video-on-demand, meaning that users who choose to view older programming via Cox's VOD channels can smash the FF button 'til their heart's content and get nowhere. |

To put my questions on this post instead...
Thats actually kind of cool... The question is: If you record the on demand program will you be able to manipulate it? Will it be an on-demand only setting... or will it follow suite after being recorded?
