CVOC
CVOC refers to a Consumer Voice Over Cable service. This type of service allows consumers to access video-on-demand content and interactive television services through their cable television provider. Essentially, it provides a way for cable subscribers to select and watch programs at their convenience, rather than adhering to a broadcast schedule. CVOC typically encompasses features such as pay-per-view movies, special event programming, and sometimes even access to a library of previously aired shows. The technology allows for a more interactive viewing experience, where users can often pause, rewind, and fast-forward content, similar to VCR or DVD functionality. Historically, CVOC was an important step in the evolution of television viewing, moving away from a purely linear broadcast model towards more personalized content consumption. It laid the groundwork for later advancements in digital television and streaming services. The implementation and availability of CVOC varied among different cable operators and regions.
