Small fee?

[gregftlaud]

I read in the faq that there is a small fee for some VOD downloads. Will the receiver let us know before we download something if it will cost us?

There is a $ next to the program if it costs money.

And if you bring up the info on an item before downloading, it will tell you the fee. Likewise, the first time you watch an item, I think it confirms your approval and gives the amount.

Just to be clear, it's not the download that costs you money, it's the watching. You can download as much PPV content as you want, but you don't get charged until you actually watch it. You will have to confirm the charge before watching it, so there are no surprises.

Can anyone provide some examples of actual fee amounts?

[Tom Robertson]

Zero is the most common for now. Many are $0.01. The Eurocinema showings on 1802 are all $2.99 today.

Cheers,

Will only movies and PPV have a fee? You can download television shows also, will those have a fee?

It's going to be up to the providers. They may charge for some commercial-free stuff or something like that. But the vast majority, if not all TV shows, will be free.
