How to make a VOD purchase from its SFR box?|SFR Actus

Since the arrival of streaming platforms of the Netflix type, Amazon Prime Video or Disney+, we hear more and more often talking about the chronology of the media, without necessarily always understanding how it works.

This allows in fact to decide on the order in which a film can be broadcast on this or that support, according to the success encountered in the cinema.And the first step is the VOD (for video we ask, so "video on demand" in VF).A film that has made less than 100,000 admissions in France will be available in VOD 3 months after its cinemas released, while a film that has exceeded 100,000 admissions will be available 4 months after its release.To find them on Canal+, a paid channel, you have to wait 6 and 8 months respectively, and to see them on a free channel, 20 and 22 months.And for streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Disney+, it's downright 34 and 36 months of waiting.An eternity.VOD is therefore the fastest way to see the latest films released, and this from the SFR box.

Since the beginning of 2020, the purchase of VOD has indeed been deployed on more decoders by SFR.While for some, it was not previously possible only to rent the films, the purchase function is now available on the more decoders.If you have fiber or ADSL, you probably have access to it.To check it, it's very simple.From the home screen of your television, go to the video on demand (generally on the right of the unlimited SFR VOD window, not to be confused).You then arrive in the catalog of the VOD shop.By selecting any movie, including in the news, the Buy option then appears, with the price indicated (which varies according to the films).If this is not the case, it may be simply because your decoder needs an update.For that, here is how to make this very simple manipulation.

From the home screen on your television, go to the bottom right in settings.Once in the menu, select the first option, installation, and then select update the TV decoder.This one will then seek the updates available, and indicate to you if there is one to do.If he found it, then select restart.The update will be carried out, and if your decoder is well compatible with this new option, you can now make VOD purchase from your SFR box.And cinema is invited into your living room...
