RedBoard Video: Introducing Rogers on Demand Online Rentals
October 8th, 2010 a 12:25pm
Break out the microwavable popcorn…Rogers on Demand Online Rentals is here.
As mentioned last month, the recently-launched online movie rental service features the latest new-release movies from some of the biggest Hollywood studios, available to rent online the same day they are in store and on DVD. The new rentals service has hundreds of titles to choose from, including $4.99 new releases and $3.99 library and catalogue titles.
Once you purchase a movie, you’ll have access to your rental for 30 days from the purchase date, and if you fall asleep halfway through, you’ll still be able to pick up where you left off with a convenient 48-hour viewing window.
As part of our RedBoard video series, I spoke with Jeremy Butteriss, Rogers Senior Director of Broadband Entertainment. We talked about Rogers on Demand Online, he showed me how the new rentals service works and we talked about what’s next for Rogers on Demand Online.
For more information on Rogers on Demand Online Rentals, see last month’s post or check it out yourself here.
You can also visit the Rogers On Demand Online Facebook page or follow @RogersRODO on Twitter to get the latest updates or provide us with feedback on the service.
Have you tried Rogers on Demand Online Rentals yet?

Could be cool if it worked on the latest technology (e.g. iPad). Maybe next year.
Yup,
Why would I want to watch a movie in front of their computer screen. That’s what the ipad is for. I love watching movies on my ipad via Netflix but am a bit underwhelmed by their selection. If there was an app from rogers i’d sign up immediately ( the selection seems to be better than on Netflix). I guess I’ll have to wait. It seems so silly though to miss the obvious.
This is a joke right? Has Rogers not noticed that Netflix now offers instant streaming to Canada now for $7.99 for unlimited movies not just 30 days for one? Of course Rogers has noticed, that is why you lowered your bandwidth caps on your Internet accounts so people will have to pay Rogers more to get a service that is actually affordable. I guess if Rogers can just shut out any competition by lowering bandwidth caps the only option will be to use Rogers on Demand. Another great reason why I don’t use Rogers Internet service.
Thanks, but no thanks. I heard of this service a few years ago… It’s called iTunes!
So, With Rogers, I can watch two (library) movies a month for $7.98 and have to finish watching them within 48 hours once starting; or I can choose Netflix for $7.99 per month and watch unlimited library movies and TV shows.
Well, theoretically unlimited, of course with Rogers’ ever shrinking usage caps (the latest reduction in monthly caps coincidentally announced the day after Netflix announced they were coming to Canada) you will have to closely monitor any and all Internet usage.
Totally agree with you. The major telecoms have so much to lose with the Internet and rather than embrace it, they impede and try to destroy its evolution. In the end, it is these companies that will hurt the most. Everything will be online very soon and as Rogers and Bell continue to charge more for Internet and provide less bandwidth, people will find another way and these dinosaurs will finally become extinct.
Lack of iPad support is a big gap. Who wants to watch a 2 hr movie on their desktop PC or heavy laptop. Can’t say the weak catalog on NetFlix has me totally sold, but apps on my iPad, mobile phone, and PS3 is a very compelling start.
Good to see Rogers reacting to he inevitable end of cable broadcast as we know it. Almost ready to “cut the chord” myself.
It dissapoints that yet again Rogers is off in there pricing. The cost to Rogers is LOWER then that of a retail outlet, how can they justify charging us the same or MORE then it would to goto the local video store? As for Netflix a very good example, lets hope they expand there catalogue for Canada.
I don’t see how this would be a valuable service compared to other companies, so I would not use this ever. I do not have Roger’s Internet Services because of the small GB allowances. My provider actually PROVIDES me with unlimited GB usage for an amazing price. $50.00, and is fast. In turn. this opens up other options for me, like Netflicks.
