Technical Questions
What is Pay Per MinutePay Per Minute is a new way to view and pay for streaming videos from blissbox.com. Minutes are purchased as a pool and used for viewing movies and scenes, but you are only billed minutes for what you watch. Back to TopWhat is streaming video?Streaming video is a way to view movies directly on your computer, wherever you are, without having to wait for physical shipment or download. Streaming videos are not saved to your computer, but viewed as they arrive over your broadband connection. It's a technology that provides instant gratification, sending images and sounds right to your computer within moments of your selection of a title. We have a large selection of titles available in this format – over 25,000 – and hundreds more are being added every week. Back to TopWhat are scenes?Scenes work in concert with our Pay Per Minute offering. As long as you have available minutes, you have complete access to all of our scenes. Click here to purchase or add to your Pay Per Minute balance. Each scene is defined by a logical break in the movie. In some cases this will be based upon an activity, in some cases by the manufacturer's defined chapters, and in others by a combination of both. Back to TopHow is Pay Per Minute different from purchasing a streaming video?When you purchase a streaming video title, you are credited with enough time to watch that specific movie from start to finish (with some extra time for rewinding or forwarding.) You may choose to view the movie in segments, but you cannot apply your time to any other title. With Pay Per Minute, you purchase a pool of minutes that you can use in viewing any streaming video title in our catalog*. You do not have to watch a title from start to finish, but can instead view multiple scenes from a variety of titles. Back to TopHow old do I need to be to use this service?You need to be 18 years or older to purchase or view any product from our catalog.
