My On Demand allows pause even with shows that don't allow fast forward (and
there aren't many of those that I watch).  What annoys me is that if it
stays on pause for too long, it drops out of the show and goes back to the
menu, or even back to the regular channel, and I have to get back into On
Demand.  On the plus side, though, it does give me a choice to restart where
I left off.  What company are you getting On Demand from?
