Re: Buying vs Purchasing Content

I will do all my shopping on the Mac then sit down and watch from Apple TV. For some content, for me, buying will work especially for series. Spur of the moment movies could be rented. The hardest bit will be movies or TV series that is not available. From E.T.'s Keyboard...

Re: bar instead of function keys on new Mac Book Pros?

Yep, I agree that the blindness problem should be solved. We have the vOICe for Android and Windows, which could work out. Even if it were ported to iOS, though, one wouldn't be able to use it as a sort of screen reader, though, but it could work for viewing things outside of the iPhone, like

Re: Buying vs Purchasing Content

Yes, movies mostly is what I want. TV series would be too captivating what with following all the episodes. There would be one exception but for the sad fact this one series is not available. Looking at one documentary series, indeed, no rent option. This is ok. From E.T.'s Keyboard...

Re: Buying vs Purchasing Content

I'm a little bit confused here. I thought, even when you purchased a movie, if you do it from the mac, or from the IPhone/IPad, then, yes. It will actually download, but I thought the whole idea of the Apple TV was, it would actually simply stream the content from your library, if you buy it

Are you sure, Chris? I'm not doubting you, please know that, but I thought you could! rent TV shows as well. Hmm. Now you've really got me curious. I'll have to look more into that. Maybe not, but I could a sworn you could do both. Further, I know you're in the UK. I wonder if that policy

Re: Buying vs Purchasing Content

Episodes work just like other rentals, i.e. they are just videos, in themselves, and can be rented separately, or not, as you want. As for the second question, rent vs buy, it is indeed subjective. I’ve rented a few things that I felt I couldn’t value enough to “Buy” and have since wondered

Well, Scott, the last time I looked into it, the total number of blind people, using the deffinition of US legal blindness of 20/200 (6/60 in other parts of the world), is 37 million, or a little under 0.5% of the population. We are a very low incidence group. In the US, So, to show greater

Renting is only possible with movies. After you start watching, you have 24 hours to finish watching it, 48 hours in the rest of the world including UK, before it goes away and you have to rent it again. > On 12 Jun 2016, at 19:09, E.T. wrote: > > Now that I have

Buying vs Purchasing Content

Now that I have begun to use my Apple TV, I wish to get some input on this concept of buying vs purchasing content from the iTunes store. First, what is the policy for renting? 30 days to play the content then how long once you press the play button before it goes away? How will this
