BURBANK, Calif. (AP) -- The Walt Disney Co. on Thursday suspended its
MovieBeam video-on-demand service in the three cities where it was
being tested, citing plans to upgrade the technology behind the
system.

Disney launched the service September 2003 in Salt Lake City,
Jacksonville, Fla., and Spokane, Wash. It transmits movies over the
same broadcast signal used to transmit television programs and stores
them on a hard drive in the MovieBeam unit.
