VOD (Video On Demand)

VOD (Video On Demand) is a lot different from the linear single that cable TV uses.

VOD (Video On Demand) sends a unicast signal to every customer which means that, every customer is getting a signal that is not shared by anyone else. Due to this method of delivery, a customer will not have to stay at home or try and stay awake to watch a show, the customer can choose what time the TV show should be sent over the IP network to the TV.

This is like having a TIVO built into the service. The customer can rewind, fast forward and pause the relay.
