I’m not sure if everybody has realized this: The movie studios have apparently prohibited the downloading of HD movies to computers – HD is restricted to only the TV…
Downloaded a rental, it is in fact a 24 hour period you need to watch it in. I don’t like this. If you started the Movie, you have the next 24 hours to view the whole thing.
Also interesting if you re-set your computer clock to an earlier time, it increase the hours you can view the movie you started.
Kind of a pain to do but it does increase the hours you can view the Movie. So if you started the Movie, could not finish it, as long as you reset your clock backwards on your Computer before the period expires you can get extra time to view it.
