With the Xbox Video app, you can buy TV shows and buy or rent movies on your Xbox One console. You can also access the Video app on Windows 8.

Buy or rent using the Xbox Video app

Sign in with your Microsoft account, and then follow these steps:

1. From your consoles home screen, scroll right to Browse, and then click Movies & TV.
2. Select Xbox Video.
3. From the Xbox Video home screen, choose a title from the featured recommendations, or click Video Search to browse movies.
4. When viewing the details of a specific movie or TV show, select whether you wish to purchase or rent the movie, and whether to show in HD (high definition) or SD (standard definition).

Note The default for movie and TV selections is HD. Selecting Switch to SD immediately changes the options to Buy SD or Rent SD, and the tile changes to Switch to HD. If you select the tile again, the options change back to HD.

5. After you select HD or SD, Buy or Rent, and then follow the prompts to complete your transaction, your movie or TV program should be available for you to view.
