Trouble viewing the Video? 

Wireless Users:

To bring as much quality to your streamed video as possible, each film is streamed at the highest practical bitrate, balancing speed with quality. Generally speaking, wireless connections are a smaller connection (maximum of 54bps), and may sometimes result in "choppy" viewing of the film when bandwidth or connection strength is reduced. If you are on a slower connection of any kind, we recommend that you select a lower bitrate to stream your film.


Almost all reported video problems are resolved by downloading the latest software to view the videos.
