The library of movies will increases each month and reset at the start of each semester to bolster the variety and availability of new releases and old favorites.
Wondering in general about what type of movies are available on demand. Old chestnuts or reasonably current ones - perhaps the same types/titles available on planes? I'm planning for our TA sea days. If it matters, we're on Jade, but I suspect they will be the same across the fleet. thanks
Hey just wondering if you lovely folks can provide me with some good movie suggestions as far as demanding my complete and everlasting attention. Movies where I will keep my phone on silent, in my pocket and have no desire to pull it out through the movie for any reason.
RHA funds free movies and TV shows from SWANK Motion Pictures. The Director of Technology (DOT) is in charge of selecting and requesting programming. Most movies and TV shows are distributed BEFORE other content providers (Netflix, HBO GO, etc.).
This really is just a curiosity question. My STB is the QIP-7100. If there is ever a movie a really want to have, I always prefer to have a hard copy of the movie on DVD. If you buy a movie on demand, does it get stored on your STB like a computer file?
When you purchase a movie, you can watch it anytime you want on any of your STBs. You can watch it from a computer from the "MyVerizon" web page. You can download it to "digital devices" using the "FiOS Mobile" app.
I am really not a fan of *not* having a physical hard copy of music on a CD or a movie on DVD. OK, so a movie you buy "on demand" gets stored on Verizon's servers but then what happens if there is a problem with the server or if you have to stop doing business with Verizon Fios because you move to an area where only cable is available? Then what? At least with a hard copy, it's always mine, it's durable, it can last forever, I can watch it anytime, and I will always have it to view regardless of what kind of system I have. I think it's a lot nicer too to have a physical collection of music and movies. It's tangible and it makes a statement about ourselves.
I think the quality of CD music is far superior than music that gets downloaded from Pandora and even with physical DVDs, I find they're much easier to control (with the pause and fast forwarding) on a DVD player. With an on demand movie that I rent, the pause button will only stay on for so long or if I stop the movie and come back to watching it later, I still often have to fast foward and back track to where I left off.
I agree completely. I'm about to take a trip and won't have Internet access much of the time. What am I supposed to do with a movie I buy from VZ FiOS? Nothing. I'll stick with hard copies also, thank you.

The film industry is at a pivotal moment in its century-long history. A massive technologically driven revolution that has impacted and irrevocably changed how people want to watch movies has led to new businesses, shifting priorities, and concerns about what the future looks like.
Video on demand (VOD) is a media distribution system that allows users to access videos, television shows and films without a traditional video playback device and a typical static broadcasting schedule. In the 20th century, broadcasting in the form of over-the-air programming was the most common form of media distribution. As Internet and IPTV technologies continued to develop in the 1990s, consumers began to gravitate towards non-traditional modes of content consumption, which culminated in the arrival of VOD on televisions and personal computers.[1]
Unlike broadcast television, VOD systems initially required each user to have an Internet connection with considerable bandwidth to access each system's content. In 2000, the Fraunhofer Institute IIS[2] developed the JPEG2000 codec, which enabled the distribution of movies via Digital Cinema Packages. This technology has since expanded its services from feature-film productions to include broadcast television programmes and has led to lower bandwidth requirements for VOD applications. Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal and Warner Bros. subsequently launched the Digital Cinema Initiative,[3] in 2002.
Streaming media has emerged as an increasingly popular medium of VOD provision. Desktop client applications such as the Apple iTunes online content store and Smart TV apps such as Amazon Prime Video allow temporary rentals and purchases of video entertainment content. Other Internet-based VOD systems provide users with access to bundles of video entertainment content rather than individual movies and shows. The most common of these systems, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, Max and Paramount+, use a subscription model that requires users to pay a monthly fee for access to a selection of movies, television shows, and original series. In contrast, YouTube, another Internet-based VOD system, uses an advertising-funded model in which users can access most of its video content free of cost but must pay a subscription fee for premium content. Some airlines offer VOD services as in-flight entertainment to passengers through video screens embedded in seats or externally provided portable media players.[4]
Downloading and streaming VOD systems provide the user with features of portable media players and DVD players. Some VOD systems store and stream programmes from hard disk drives and use a memory buffer to allow the user to fast-forward and rewind videos. It is possible to put video servers on local area networks; these can provide rapid responses to users. Cable companies have rolled out their own versions of VOD services through apps, allowing television access wherever there is a device that is Internet capable. Cable media companies have combined VOD with live streaming services. The early-2020s launches of apps from cable companies (e.g. NBC's Peacock, CBS's Paramount+) are attempts to compete with Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) services because they lack live news and sports content.[5][clarification needed] Streaming video servers can serve a wide community via a WAN but responsiveness may be reduced. Download VOD services are practical in homes equipped with cable modems or DSL connections. Servers for traditional cable and telco VOD services are usually placed at the cable head-end, serving a particular market and cable hubs in larger markets. In the telco world, they are placed in either the central office or a newly created location called a Video Head-End Office (VHO).[citation needed]
A VOD service was proposed as early as 1986 in Japan, where there were plans to develop an "Integrated Network System" service. It was not possible, however, to practically implement such a VOD service until the adoption of DCT and ADSL technologies in the early 1990s.[6] The first VOD systems used tapes as the real-time source of video streams. GTE started as a trial in 1990 with AT&T providing all components. By 1992, VOD servers were supplying previously encoded digital video from disks and DRAM.[7]
In the UK, from September 1994, a VOD service formed a major part of the Cambridge Digital Interactive Television Trial[16] This provided video and data to 250 homes and several schools connected to the Cambridge Cable network, later part of NTL, now Virgin Media. The MPEG-1 encoded video was streamed over an ATM network from an ICL media server to set-top boxes designed by Acorn Online Media. The trial commenced at a speed of 2 Mbit/s to the home, subsequently increased to 25 Mbit/s.[17] The content was provided by the BBC and Anglia Television. Although a technical success, difficulty in sourcing content was a major issue and the project closed in 1996.[citation needed]
