Start Again a Show on Time Warner Cable

Have you recently missed a show on television, and now have no real way to go back and watch it? It probably happens to the best of us, and until now, your only real option was to try and find it online via the distributor's website. But now, for many Time Warner Cable subscribers, there's a new option.

TWC is today launching Look Back across many of its service markets, which is a new service that gives Digital Video customers the ability to go back within a three-day window to watch shows they may have missed without setting their DVR. That's a pretty amazing new feature, and one that isn't matched anywhere else yet. Look Back will launch with 48 channels (24 in HD and 24 in Standard Definition) with a consistent lineup across cable systems, and customers can access Look Back programming content immediately after it has aired on the network channel.

The company has been testing out this feature for the past few years, and now it is ready for primetime use. To use this feature, Digital Video customers simply use the "Select" button on their remote control then choose Look Back to find a program. The available window for these programs will be 72 hours. For example, if a show airs from 8:00-9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, customers can view that show immediately after it has aired until 9:00 p.m. on Friday. Customers may also pause and rewind their program selection, and the feature is being offered at no extra charge. Aside from the perpetual rate increases that are surely made to cover this kind of thing. We kid, we kid...
