HOW DO I SEARCH FOR MOVIES?
You can browse through the movie selections on MyLibraryDV by either clicking on the Movie category in the Channel Guide on the left side of the screen or the Movie icon in the center of the screen.

There are five different movie collections to select from: Classics, Independent Films, Foreign Films, Hollywood Favorites & World Cinema, and Sony Pictures Entertainment. Click on the desired collection to reveal browsing options within that collection. In the Hollywood Favorites & World Cinema and Sony Pictures Entertainment collections you have the option to browse by genre, such as Action/Adventure, Drama, Mystery/Thriller, etc.

Click on the picture associated with the movie to view more information or to download.


HOW MANY MOVIES CAN BE CHECKED OUT AT ONE TIME?
You may check out one movie every 24 hours. Like the basic service, each film in the Hollywood Favorites & World Cinema and Sony Pictures Entertainment collections has a seven-day checkout period that cannot be shortened no matter when the film is viewed.

When at any time during the checkout period you decide to watch a movie and click on the “Play” button, you initiate a 24-hour viewing period–this includes watching the movie during progressive play while it is still downloading. The movie may be watched as many times as desired within the 24-hour period. However, once the viewing period has ended the film will automatically be deleted from your “My Downloads” playlist and the computer’s hard drive whether or not the movie has been watched.

The time remaining to watch a film is displayed next to the “Play” icon in the “My Downloads” playlist.


WHAT DO I DO IF I RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE?

“The library has reached its maximum limit of checkouts for premium movies. Please try to download the movie again Thursday.”

This message indicates that your library has opted to limit the total downloads from its premium movie collection. The library has chosen this function so that they may continue to offer films throughout the entire period of their subscription. The download limit is reset every Thursday, so please reattempt to check out your selection at that time.
