Amazon Unbox videos downloadable after deleting?
Brockles, it’s actually nothing like that. OP, there’s nothing in their TOS that seems to indicate that this would be case. For what it’s worth, iTunes does offer the ability to redownload all of your previously purchased music in the event of catastrophic data loss. However, they are only allowed to authorize this once. Unbox may have a similar policy but this probably doesn’t help you. Unbox would have to shoulder much higher bandwidth costs to do what you are suggesting for customers. There may be some feature where you can stream your purchased movies from your PC to your TiVo. (I assume you are referring to a TiVo because getting an additional hard drive for a PC is a ridiculously inexpensive endeavor.
I just re-downloaded to my TiVo a TV show that I first purchased, downloaded, and deleted about six months ago. I’m not sure whether there’s ever a time limit, but if there is, it’s a pretty long time horizon. alex3005, Amazon allows you to download each video you purchase to a total of two devices (computers and TiVos). You need the client on each computer you want to use, including computers you want to view DVD backups you have burned of videos you own. I don’t know whether anyone has been successful in getting around that restriction; I’m sure someone is working on it. However, doing so would be in violation of your contract with Amazon.
