More importantly, you can:
- Start the movie or program whenever you like
- Pause, rewind, and fast-forward it
- View a pay-per-view program repeatedly within the24-hour rental period
- View free movies as often as you like, whenever you like
To see the Cox On DEMAND menu, press the ON DEMAND button on the remote control and then press the SELECT button.

What's the difference between the On DEMAND channel and iN DEMAND
pay-per-view events?
The On DEMAND channel offers more flexibility than individual iN DEMAND pay-per-view events. With iN DEMAND pay-per-view shows, the start time of the show cannot be changed and the show cannot be paused, rewound, or fast-forwarded. On the other hand, shows played from the Cox On DEMAND menu can be started whenever you want. And they can be paused, rewound, and fast-forwarded without special equipment.
