Cox Communications Brings More High Definition Choices to Customers with the Launch of HD Movies On DEMAND

HERNDON, Va., July 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Cox Communications Northern Virginia announced today that it will offer digital cable subscribers throughout Fairfax County and the Fredericksburg region even more high-definition (HD) content starting July 6, when it launches HD movies in its On DEMAND library.

"As the demand for high-definition programming continues to skyrocket, we will keep expanding our HD offerings both by adding more content and through interactive options like our popular On DEMAND service," said Janet Barnard, vice president and region manager for Cox Northern Virginia. "Customers in Northern Virginia clearly want more HD content, and our advanced network is able to deliver this programming with the choice and convenience they expect."

Cox Digital Cable customers will be able to access high-definition movies by tuning to channel 700. Available movies will include Hollywood hits and new releases for $5.99 each. Cox will offer several movie titles in high definition with plans for additional On DEMAND HD content in the future.

"Recent consumer research shows that the satellite providers simply can't match cable's quality HD picture," added Barnard. "Cox is the only place to get a true On DEMAND experience, which is just another reason we are the preferred communications and entertainment provider in Northern Virginia."

Available on Cox Digital Cable Channel 1, On DEMAND offers Cox Digital Cable subscribers a library of over 5,000 movies, shows and music videos to view anytime they wish, with the majority of content available at no charge. Cox also offers premium On DEMAND content to subscribers of HBO, Starz, Showtime and Cinemax.
