Movie Library

Since the dawn of VCRs people have struggled to manage their videotape collections. MoviesOnCable.com makes it easy by allowing subscribers to track their video libraries online, with every detail about each movie only clicks away.
Many people have given up on the idea of recording movies off of cable. Even if they manage to figure out what’s on and get it taped, managing a pile of tapes and knowing what’s on them is next to impossible.

The right tool makes all the difference.

Search Box

The Search Box appears on virtually every page of MoviesOnCable.com.

To use it, type the title or a part of the title of a movie into the text box and click on "Search". The MoviesOnCable.com database will be quesried and titles matching your criteria will be returned on the Search Page.

Library filters

Filter buttons allow you to hide movies based on some general criteria.
Filter buttons with text that begins with either a + or a - will either add or subtract movies from the screen. For instance, clicking on the button that say +R will cause the R rated movies to be shown (or added) to the screen. Clicking the button that reads -Series will cause all listings for the episodes of series to be hidden (or subtracted) from the screen.

The filter buttons perform the following finctions:
