Comcast On Demand Movies? Here are Tips On How To Get Comcast On Demand Movies

by Larry Brooks

Many people have a problem when they have a new cable system. There are so many menus and different icons and buttons. This article tries to help in that area.

If you are having trouble finding a Comcast on demand movie, maybe this article will help. All pay per view movies are in the on demand section. I will try to give you the information in a step by step order.

To find a Comcast on demand movie, press the ON DEMAND button on your remote for the on demand menu. If you don't have an on demand button, press the MENU button and pick on demand from the quick menu.

Now pick the category that you want and drill down thru a few more menus until you get to the last one. There as you click on an item it will tell you if it is available. If a program is marked new, it was added in the last 7 days.

When changing channel or by pressing the INFO button, the flip or info bar will come up on the bottom of the screen. If on demand is available on that network there will be a small icon on the right. To view what is available press the RIGHT ARROW button to highlight the icon. Now press the ON DEMAND or MENU to get to the on demand menu to see what on demand is available from that network.

If a Comcast on demand movie or event is a pay per view, you may watch a free preview by selecting the preview icon on the program screen.

When you select a movie the program information will show either a watch icon or buy and preview icons. Pick the watch icon to watch the movie. Or select the buy icon and a conformation screen will appear asking you if you want to buy or cancel.

You can REWIND, FAST FORWARD, PAUSE and STOP by using the video keys located under the ON DEMAND button on your remote.

And if you have premium programming like HBO, STARZ or CINEMAX, you can watch unlimited shows free.

If you would like to limit what can be ordered from Comcast on demand movies. Then you can use the Parental Control codes. Code is a four digit number and if you forget it, customer service can always reset it for you.

Hint: When using on demand, if you happen to see the message “Unable to Process Request” wait a couple of minutes and try again. If it still appears, turn the cable box off and the back on. If it’s still there call customer service.

I hope this article has been a help to someone. It is really a simple process, but a little confusing with all the menus, icons and buttons. Remember, the icons are always on the program information screen.
