Here is what you need to know about buying or renting Flex View videos:
When you buy a Flex View video
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.
When you rent a Flex View video
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 Video 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.
