4. What is Pay Per view? How does it work?
This is a subscription for a single movie. This option suits best for those users who want to watch any specific movie instead of going for unlimited movie option. To pick a movie for pay per movie, click on the "Signup" or "Join Now" link from homepage, select the movie from the next page after subscription pick up, picking up the movie you want and go through the payment procedure and collect the id:pass. After coming back from payment, you will need to login again and you will see link "My PPV" on the top of the page, click on the link and you will taken to the page where you will be able to watch the movie you just paid for.

5. I want to cancel the subscription in the middle of the month, is there any refund?
Yes, refund is only available for subscriptions for a month or longer. For monthly subscription, if the user notify us to calcel within 3 days, $2.99 will be deducted from his/her monthly charge and rest of it will be refunded. That's why we recommend you to go for trial subscription if you are not sure about our quality of service. There will be no refund for pay-per-view users.

6. How fast should my connection be to watch movies?
The minimum streaming rate for movies is about 580 Kbps. Therefore a constant download speed of 600 Kbit or above will make your streaming smooth throughout the whole movie. We strongly recommend you to close all the bandwidth consuming programs while watching the movie.

7. I have stream buffering sometimes. Why?
It depends on both our streaming server and your connection speed. To ensure enough bandwidth for each user we monitor our bandwidth so often, so it's very unlikely that the problem is from our side. Most probably it's your connection which doesn't meet our minimum bandwidth requirement( see the above question ). For cable users it can be an issue bacause the connection speed varies by a big factor in cable broadband sometimes.DSL is dedicated line and it's less likely to experience buffering problem with dsl.We would suggest you to try watching the movie when you have a higher chance of getting a good conenction speed.

8. Why only music is not seperate package?
We don't think our music collection is enriched enough to make a seperate package for them. In near future we are going to add lots of other albums and we will definitely make a package for music only.

9. I paid for the subscription, still BollyPod is showing invalid subscription. Why?
Most probably you forgot to click on "return to merchant" button after you had completed your payment. Without it, subscription status doesn't change in our database instantly.Please contact customer service from the contact us page.Mention your user name in that mail. Your account will be activated as soon as possible.Please make sure you return to our website by clicking that button when you will make any payment in future.

10. What's the difference between paying by credit/debit card and Echeck?
This is the note we get from paypal when a user pay with echeck. "This eCheck Payment will remain "Uncleared" until the funds have cleared from the sender's account, which usually takes 4 business days. If you are shipping an item, please do not ship your item until the funds have cleared into your PayPal account. You will be notified by email when the funds have cleared into your PayPal balance." So, to get instant activation, you will have to pay by credit/debit card. Otherwise, you will have to wait for 4 days to get your account activated.

11. The movie stops after 3/4 minutes and shows "ready" on the player. What should I do?
This is something to do with your caching. Please check the browser cache setting. Follow the image from the link below to set it properly. Free up some of your hard drive space if it's almost full(this is not the same as clearing browser cache). Click on the tools > Internet Options and then follow the instructions on the image. Try to use IE browser if you are currently using something else. Also please stop any kind of download/upload during watching the movie, to enjoy the high quality and uninterrupted stream. Please turn of all kind of downloading software: torrents, kazza, ftp client etc.


Also if you experience slow video movement (like frames), please try changing the following settings of windows media player and restart the movie:
