DESPITE some minor glitches, Time Warner’s much-ballyhooed video on demand channel option is keeping more New Yorkers inside this winter.

The system has boosted the cable operator’s revenues by 30 percent since its launch last October, a company spokeswoman said yesterday.

The service allows users to order a movie and then control it just like a video or DVD, with the options to fast-forward, rewind, pause and stop.

So many people were ordering pay-per-view movies through the system last weekend that the computer servers controlling it were slowed down two consecutive nights.

“We found this minor problem and rectified it,” the spokeswoman said.
