What is the “Pay-TV Blackout Window”?
Due to restrictions from the video rights holders, most newly released movies will occasionally become temporarily unavailable for re-download from Your Media Library at Amazon.com – even after they’ve already been purchased. During this “Pay-TV Blackout Window” certain programs will be temporarily unavailable from the Amazon Video On Demand catalog. This happens during the program’s run on a pay-cable channel. The video will be automatically replaced and made available to you through Your Media Library at Amazon.com once the “Pay-TV Blackout Window” has ended.
