In order to use our service, we need to check that your PC meets a minimum hardware and software requirement. This process is performed for you by our validation service. During the validation process you may be prompted to download and install software either from Microsoft (Windows Media Player) or ourselves (Download Manager) in order to complete the process. In some cases you may need to reboot your PC.

You will not be able to download or stream content until we have validated your PC. If you choose not to validate your PC using this link, we will perform the checks as part of the product selection process. Once you have validated your PC once, you will not have to do it again unless the technical requirements for the service change, in which case we will perform the check for you automatically.

Buying a Films on PC product from our website is very similar to buying a DVD. Instead of clicking the Buy button, simply click on the Stream or Download button instead. The product will be added to your basket as normal. Please note that due to the nature of the product, we only allow one streaming purchase to be in your basket at any one time. Films on PC purchases can be combined with DVD purchases in the same basket if you so wish.

Once you have finished adding products to your basket, you check out as normal. New customers have to register with us as part of the checkout process; existing customers can just log in using their existing username and password.

If you have chosen to stream your film, the playout window will open. The playout window uses Windows Media Player to play your film. You can use the Windows Media Player controls to increase the playback window to full screen (just double-click on the picture), pause, rewind or fast forward your film.

If you have chosen to download your film, our Download Manager will take care of the download process for you. Once you have completed the download, you can start playback of your film from within the Download Manager. If you chose the default location for file storage when the Download Manager was installed, you can also browse to the My Videos folder in My Documents and double-click on the downloaded file to start playback. As with the streaming choice, downloaded files are viewed using Windows Media Player
