Bringing the Theatre Into the HomeBy Adam Singleton
Television technology has expanded much since the days of rabbit-ear antennas and two channels. In fact, now there are television channels dedicated to almost everything, and not enough hours in the day to watch great TV.
That means viewers aren't limited to watching only television shows from the living room. With channels dedicated to providing new film releases as well as on-demand sports and entertainment, viewers can watch their favourite programmes from the comfort and convenience of their own home.
Pay-per-view and on-demand programmes are by no means new, and have been offered through television providers for many years. However, the current economic recession has led many people to rethink their finances - meaning more time is spent at home looking for entertainment, and less time spent out on the town at shows and performances.
One of the biggest draws towards pay-per-view content is the money savings it brings to those looking for entertainment. A night out at the movies, in the theatre or at a sporting event can be very expensive, and families looking to watch the game or movie are finding ways to save by watching at home.
When it comes to a night out at the cinema, it is markedly cheaper to rent a film from pay-per-view than to buy tickets to a cinema for the whole family, or even just a couple looking for a night in.
But that doesn't mean watching old and outdated releases. New movies, including Oscar-winner Slumdog Millionaire are already being released to some pay-per-view and satellite TV channels, and there are plenty of options and genres for movie fans of all kinds - including horror, romantic comedies, animated films and action flicks.
Most pay-per-view and on-demand video services allow customers to purchase the service and watch the film whenever is most convenient. With the wide berth of new and old films, it's easy to keep up-to-date on classics and new releases when you're watching from the comfort of home.
Choosing to order films through pay-per-view also removes the hassle of renting and returning films on time. When you order a film through your television provider, you don't have to worry about late fees or your favourite film being rented out.
