Comcast has signed on CBS and 17 other cable networks to participate in a limited study of 5,000 households who get to watch OnDemand content online.

Is this a good idea, or is this taking online video in the wrong direction? We talk with two members of Engadget HD, Richard Lawler and Ben Drawbaugh and get their take on the situation.
