Burke said that being to watch movies like Spiderman 4 on cable on the same day they premiere in the theater would be part of the shift to on demand services.
He added that he would be surprised if all TV shows don't go on demand at some point, according to The Inquirer.
"I also think On Demand is only in the third or fourth inning in terms of what it is and what it can be," he said.

Comcast has been aggressively promoting its On Demand service, arguably more than any other TV provider. Burke's remarks are more evidence that the cable operator believes that TV viewers are becoming more conditioned to an On Demand environment.
Comcast now offer roughly 100 hours of High-Definition programming on demand, but plans to expand that this year to at least 200 hours.
