Pay-Per-View to Provide DVD After Viewing?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the less-than-the-cost-of-the-dvd dept.

Anonymous Coward writes to tell us that Comcast is entertaining an idea that would allow digital cable customers to purchase a pay-per-view movie for roughly $17 that would also include a hard copy in the mail a few days later. From the article: "The only snafu in the entire idea is the fact that only 40% of Comcast cable subscribers have the required digital box at this point in time. But still, that is 40% of 21 million customers which is not too bad. DirecTV and Dish, are you listening?"

    17 is prime, but will Comcast accept 4+i payments of 4-i dollars?
