===Video-on-demand services=== Fox maintains several [[video on demand]] venues for viewers to watch the network's programming, including a traditional VOD service called Fox on Demand, which is carried on most traditional cable, satellite, streaming, and telecom providers. Fox also streams most of its programming on the streaming video service [[Hulu]], along with traditional streaming via the network's Full Episode portal on Fox.com. The network's mobile and [[digital media player]] app was branded as "Fox Now", and featured access to a live stream of the network's primetime and sports programming (though not local and syndicated programming for affiliates not owned by the network), along with full-time live streams of their owned cable networks with [[TV Everywhere]] authentication through authorized television providers. The most recent episodes of the network's shows are usually made available on the Fox on Demand television service the day after their original broadcast. In addition, [[fast forward]]ing capabilities are disabled while viewing content (a commonality for video-on-demand television services provided by the U.S. broadcast networks) and the program's original advertisements that aired during the initial broadcast are included for a week after becoming available on the service, before being replaced by [[Direct-response marketing|direct response]] advertising thereafter. Due to restrictions put in place by the network in January 2012 to encourage live or same-week [[digital video recorder|DVR]] viewing via traditional and cable on demand methods, Hulu and Fox.com both impose an eight-day delay for most viewers to access the most recent episode of any Fox program, [[TV Everywhere|restricting day-after-air streaming]] of its shows on both services to subscribers of certain pay television providers (such as [[Dish Network]] and [[Verizon FiOS]]) using an [[Internet service provider|ISP]] account through agreements made with Fox, along with Hulu's free service with advertisements on Yahoo!
