NBC on demand (sort of) on Cox cable
Cory Bergman September 26th, 2007
Cox Communications subscribers will be able to watch five NBC fall shows for free, including 30 Rock and Bionic Woman, a day after they air on the network. But here’s the catch: fast-forward will be disabled throughout the shows so you can’t skip through the ads. So, it’s on demand — until you play it.

Sidenote … NBC had pilots of some of their new fall line-up - Journeyman, Life, Chuck, Bionic Woman - available on Comcast On Demand up through Monday night.
The other nets, however, posted short little 3-minute mix tapes of their new fall line-ups and called it a day which was strange because through the last season CBS has been the only net that streams their shows On Demand via Comcast.
Off-topic, thanks to NBC giving me access to the pilots via Comcast On Demand, I found both Life and Chuck both look interesting and will probably watch them.
However, Bionic Woman without Lindsay Wagner and Special Guest Star Lee Majors is like a day without sunshine.

Honestly, it doesn’t bother me to watch the ads. If I’m watching it on demand, it’s because I missed the episode for some reason, and it’s not a bad tradeoff. It’s still less annoying than finding the torrent and downloading it, or watching it online.
BTW, I am an unfortunate hostage of Charter Communications here in Minneapolis, which might have the worst on demand lineup of any cable system in the country.
