We already got Buffy season one on demand. It's called a DVD.

True but not everyone has a DVD player or necessarily wants one.

Digital TV boxes seem to be more expensive than decent DVD players (at least here)...but I guess it's more like, if you already have the box to get certain channels, Buffy can make it more fun. The on-demand service here in Western Canada is pretty sad--mostly porn, straight-to-video's and music specials.

I've avoided dvds like the plague until recently. A friend has let me borrow her laptop with a dvd player in it and I must admit I've gotten hooked. I was slow to get on the CD bandwagon too. I still have a lot of cassette tapes, even though they're just gathering dust now. For years I refused to accept CDs as the next logical progression. There comes a point where you just have to bow to progress.

I don't think paying for a service to have programming piped into your home when renting a dvd or buying one from a place down the street is more convenient. I mean, NEW programming maybe, but if something's already out on vhs/dvd, seems impractical to also make it available "on demand" through pay-per-view systems. But then, I haven't had cable in two years for the same reason, and other people still pay for that service.

To each his own, I suppose.
