It will be avalible on Showtime's Pay Per View. You will be able to rent it and hopefully buy it.

I could not find any article stating it will be available as a pay per view movie. I did however find a link on Showtime's website stating it will be available on demand beginning September 17th if you are a Showtime subscriber and miss the first broadcast: http://www.sho.com/titles...-the-times

I mean Pay per view as the same as On-Demand. After Showtime shows it you can go to On-Demand and buy it or rent it. I used the wrong verbiage but the principal is the same you will be able to view it when you like to buy or rent.

Good god people.

You may also have the option to watch it for free as long as they keep it in the On Demand queue, unless of course you record it to your dvr. Then you've got it as long as you have your dvr. I had lost hope that I'd get to see it so I bought it about 3 weeks ago.

Pay per view is not the same as Showtime On Demand. There is no paying for movies on Showtime On Demand. It's a simple streaming service without any payment if you already subscribe to Showtime.

Now it's entirely possible that the movie could be made available later outside of Showtime as a pay per view selection where you can rent it for 24 hours for $5 for example or download a digital copy to keep for $10 like on iTunes, but that has not been confirmed anywhere yet.

If the movie is on Showtime on demand for streaming what would make you think it will not be On Demand on the cable system? They want to make money. The same programs listed on the streaming platform are also listed on Showtime on demand on the cable system that I am looking at right now with my own eyeballs. So trust it will be on the demand on your local cable system. [Edited 8/28/17 17:21pm] [Edited 8/28/17 19:52pm]

Yes but they don't make any INCREMENTAL money by putting it on demand.

.

You either pay for Showtime (which included on demand) or you don't.

.

.

Just like HBO. Having one movie or another does not impact their revenue.

If it is avalible to buy at some point it will effect revenue. Also we have no idea what sort of licensing deal has been worked out. I was able to catch up on "Better Call Saul" the first season and the next season you had to rent on the buy the eposoids.

I am just happy its calling attention to P and showcasing on Showtime the ultimate showman.

This is not being aired for me in my mind its being aired for some folks to hopefully tune in and say oh yeah I forgot just how amazingly talented of a perfomer Prince was.

It always brought a big smile and now even more so to me whenever P was in the spotlight. As probably is the case with many of us..our family, lovers and friends both past and present will likely think of us (if they have and watch ST) and say oh yeah now I know why... was such a big fan of this cat. I already got a few texts when it was announced.

Call me sentimental but I can tell you I will tear up when I see that 20' catwalk leap sequing into "Little Red Corvette" and smile and say yeah (no Oh YEAH!!!) .....nobody can ever take the place of my man! Thank U Showtime for showing SOTT.

There are licensing fees to pay for showing this movie.

not really the same thing. As long as Showtime's license lasts, if you subscribe to showtime, you can watch it for free. WHen their rights are over, it will be gone from showtime. If you record it to a DVR in the meantime, you can keep watching it. If it eventually is avialbe on other pay to rent or pay to buy services, it will be completely seperate from it showing on showtime.

Dr. Funkenberry says the DVD & Blu releases are not official. I know this is the case with the crappy DVD from Brazil, but, I was under the impression the Canadian & Japanese releases were legit, and, surely the paper/magazine-mount European releases are "official"?

Any opinions/knowledge on this?

--Showtime has this listed as a documentary. If you go on Showtime on demand right now there are documentaries that are for rent, purchase and free. It is possible that Showtime will make this avalible for renting, buying or for free viewing. I think all options are great but this is Prince.org so what do I know.

I looked up Showtime on Demand and didn't see any documentaries for rent or for sale. They are only available for free for Showtime subscribers. http://www.sho.com/on-dem...umentaries

If you go to your cable box and bring up on demand (yes you have to have Showtime as one of your cable channels ) You will see a list of docs. Some are for rent, buy or free to watch.

The doc about McAffee is on there and Showtime was showing this just a few months ago.

I belive his doc is free. I have Showtime and I know what I am looking at.

That's the difference. You already have a subscription to Showtime. I don't have one so while my cable provider carries all the Showtime channels including on demand, it's blacked out for me.

It just made me miss him that much more.

thanks for the heads up!!!

i have showtime
