Armed with software and servers from SeaChange International, Cablevision of Mexico is about to become the first operator in the country to offer video-on-demand (VOD).

Cablevision, Mexico's largest cable MSO, will offer a library of on-demand movies, local and network television shows, and high-definition titles.

The operator will offer the application on Motorola-made DCT700, DCT2000 and DCT6400 boxes and the Microsoft TV Foundation set-top software platform.

"By working with SeaChange, Cablevision is harnessing on-demand's full potential. VOD, or Video sobre Demanda in Spanish, will bring control and convenience to subscribers," said Cablevision General Manager Jean Paul Broc.
