PHILADELPHIA - Comcast Corp., the nation’s largest cable operator, has reached a deal with IFC Entertainment to show selected independent movies at the same time the releases hit theaters.
Philadelphia-based Comcast said indie films from “IFC in Theaters” will be shown through its “On Demand” service, which stores movies, TV shows and other video for subscribers with digital set-top boxes to watch at any time.
The offerings, priced at $5.99 each, will be launched nationwide on March 22.

Other features Comcast is looking to add onto this feature: Local band members holding contractor bags as you leave your living room, a virtual art-school-hottie box office “interface,” and home delivery of wildly overpriced chocolate.
