What you won't see, what you won't get

Time Warner's recent takeover of Dallas area Comcast cable systems turns out to be not so hot for the "On Demand" channel. Lots of stuff is missing, and it's lately gotten worse. A new CBS deal with Comcast will let subscribers watch episodes of eight new and returning series for free on the day after their network debuts.

It supplants an old deal in which CBS charged 99 cents a pop to see certain shows any time of day or night. All three CSI series will be available, plus Survivor, NCIS, Numb3rs, Big Brother and the new Jericho.

CBS doesn't have any such deals with Time Warner, so for now we get nothing.
