On-Demand: One-stop location to find all content?

I would like to find all the On-demand movies/content available to me in one place, rather than peeking behind all the on-screen "channels" like HBO, Starz, Encore, TMC, etc.

I feel like I am playing Where's Waldo! I know that movie is somewhere, but where, oh where do I find it?

I just want to click on one place to see:
- just free content, or all content regardless if a fee or not
- content I am subscribed to only, or all content regardless of subscription
- I want to click a LOT fewer times to see the whole list

I KNOW there is content that is available to me that I can't easily find.

I also wish the content listings were fuller, actors, date, description, ratings, etc all fully displayed and not abbreviated in one place.

Is there anything like this either by On-Demand remote control or online at Comcast?

Time Warner Cable has this page:
»www.twondemand.com

I don't know if Comcast has something similar, but since the majority of the content comes from the same channel providers most of the info should be the same.

A lot of this is available if you add a TV tuner to your PC, which then can pick up more detail from the Internet.

But to my knowledge, this does not work for On Demand.

If you have the TiVo software available on your Comcast box in your area, as we do here in New England, it is searchable in the way that you are looking for.

OK, to clarify, I am only talking about Channel 1 - On-Demand.

»www.comcast.net/tv/tv-listings/on-demand/ actually is a pretty good start for what I was looking for.

It would be SWEET to be able to choose only those services that I subscribe to, similar to how you can choose the ratings, and/or based on my login.

Actors and description are not easily and quickly scanable. The whole idea is I want it at a glance without 10,000 button pushes, looking under every rock.

And it is MANDATORY for me to see the FEE charged to view.

Again, the TiVo software on the Motorola Comcast box does everything that you are looking for. Do you know if it is available where you are? I have here in the Boston area.

When A28 arrives you'll be able to have a lot more functionality such as the actors, etc.
