Hi, I am sorry you are having a problem with the recording of Video on Demand movies. There are Limited Recording movies which will only allow a movie to be accessed as many times as you want within a 24 hour period, but will prompt you to delete it after 24 hours. Pay-per-View movies, where you tune to a specific channel to view a movie that is broadcasted back to back for a 24 hour period can be recorded. Most movies today have a Copyright Protection attached to them that will auto delete the programs off the DVR after a period of time that can range for 3-6 months. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to email me directly. Thank you!
