Buying movies from Sky

Options
I may as well also ask about rental too while i'm at it.

How does the buying movies thing work? I don't want to have to buy a movie to find out.

If i buy it then it (should) be mine to keep. Does this get stored on the Sky digibox or can i stick in a USB stick to the TV & save to this? How does it work?

Also then the rental side of it. Do you just get an option to view once, view for a certain number of days? Does it get put to a temporary section of the digibox & then erased after a certain length of time? How does the rental side work?

Thanks.

    It can live on the digibox (not USB) and you can remove/add it as you need but you also get the DVD for them as well.

    Rental is downloaded to the box and shows up as any other programme on the planner does. Like the on-demand and catch up TV stuff, it expires after so long, telling you the date on the banner when you press the i button.. Once you start watching I believe you have 48hrs. The fee is added to your next Sky bill.
