Here is what you need to know about buying or renting multi-screen videos:
You pay once and then can access the title an unlimited number of times over an indefinite period of time, free from any problems common with hard DVD (i.e. scratches, dirt and smudges) that affect quality.
You rent videos and can then access the title and start playback within the 30 days. Once you download the title to your computer or portable device, or press Play on the On Demand section on your TV, you have 24-48 hours (depending upon the title) to finish watching it.
The ability to download the rented video is disabled either after 30 days or 24-48 hours after the first playback, whichever occurs first.
Videos already downloaded cease to play after the rental period has expired.

You can choose from SD or HD versions depending on whether or not you have an SD or HD Set-Top-Box.
If you have an HD Set-Top Box, both versions will be available for Rent/Buy. Some videos may only be available in SD.
If available, HD versions are indicated with an HD marker and come with a slightly higher price.
