On Demand
Living along with the BBC, Channel 4, HBO and Bravo has an on demand service which is available on cable via Virgin Media. It offers access to a number of shows which viewers may have missed first time around. It also allows a whole series catch-up of particular original programming such as Most Haunted, Rehab and Dirty Dancing: The Time of Your Life. The shows are available for free.
Certain programmes from the channel are also accessible to Freeview viewers who use Top Up TV Anytime.

Subscribers to BT Vision taking the TV and Value Packs were able to access the content with no additional cost; others were able to view it on a pay per view basis with prices starting at 77p. Living programming was removed from BT Vision on 13 January 2010.

Living Player will be made available on PCs, the player will also offer HD programming for free to all customers on the Virgin Media's XL TV package.

Famous quotes containing the word demand:
“The English masses are lovable: they are kind, decent, tolerant, practical and not stupid. The tragedy is that there are too many of them, and that they are aimless, having outgrown the servile functions for which they were encouraged to multiply. One day these huge crowds will have to seize power because there will be nothing else for them to do, and yet they neither demand power nor are ready to make use of it; they will learn only to be bored in a new way.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects, rather, an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
