Video On Demand vs. Pay Per View

Video On Demand (VOD)

  • Video On Demand is available to watch, fast forward, rewind, etc. at any time within the viewing window

  • VOD can be viewed for either 24 or 48 hours, depending on the offering 

  • Some adult VODs offer a 6 hour viewing window 

  • With no broadcast schedule, VOD is available when you want, making it Video On Demand
 

Pay-Per-View (PPV)

  • Pay-Per-View is available to watch during a specific day and time

  • You pay for each event or show

  • For example, purchasing a WWE event on Sunday at 8:00pm, entitles you to watch only during that timeframe

  • Once the broadcast is over, it cannot be retrieved or watched again

  • Sometimes events are repeated; to watch the repeat, purchase the event again
