Just missed that all-important final episode of your favourite drama serial because you had a last minute meeting?
With Starhub's new video on-demand service, you don't have to worry about missing another show anymore.

Come tomorrow, Starhub's Digital Cable customers can enjoy their favourite shows at anytime they desire.
Named Demand TV, the telco's pay TV will offer two categories of services - Video-On-Demand (one-off purchases) and On Demand Channel (unlimited library access for a monthly subscription).

Video-On-Demand offers customers the option of a one-off purchase of content that they can watch as many times as they wish over a limited time period. Content offered will include both standalone shows as well as selections of TV series with a choice of purchase by episodes or by series.

The On Demand Channel, another service by Demand TV can be purchased on a monthly subscription basis and customers can access a library of programmes they can watch as many times as they wish. Aside from the three current channels Disney Channel @ Play, VV Drama On Demand and TVBJ On Demand, Starhub will be adding three more channels to the line-up.

Ruyi Hokkien Channel On Demand and Barclays Premier League On Demand will be added on 20 August while a third new channel, HBO On Demand will be launched on a later date.
