You get three days per movie to watch them and them poof, without doing anything they are returned. No late fees. No hassles, so you could load up some while in town and watch them at night.

So, you could take it out to the "boonies" with you, and drop it off a the next Red Box you see. You can check their website to find out where the closest ones are, and you can "hold" movies you want, if they are available.<br />A truly great invention.<br /><br />A satellite is awfully expensive, if it's only for the RV....you could watch a new movie (with Red Box) every day of the month for less than the satellite fees.PapPappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853538237448202621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-12823532235666872732014-03-23T11:17:48.160-07:002014-03-23T11:17:48.160-07:00If you really want the whole 'movie night'...If you really want the whole 'movie night' experience, do what we have done - get a digital projectors. Since space in a truck camper is seriously limited, a projector with an HDMI port can be hooked up to most newer laptops (available on www.WOOT.com - have to check daily for what they have in stock) and you can play your DVD/BluRay discs no matter what your source is (rented, bought, ripped or streamed). I have an HP DV7 laptop (with BluRay) that I hook up to an Optima HD30B projector and play anything from Iron Man, Wreckit Ralph and Walking Dead to NASCAR races. We also use a Sony NS-500 Network Speaker that we use for the audio (via a 3.5mm cable) since it has a battery built into it (one less plug required). There are tons of ways to take your movies with you - but how you show them are just as important!Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815084459181280325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-44857608006587300952014-03-22T10:15:29.866-07:002014-03-22T10:15:29.866-07:00Another alternative is if you have internet access...Another alternative is if you have internet access or able to use a mobile hotspot using your cell phone, it is not illegal to pull up movies or tv shows on several websites like:<br /><br />putlocker.tv<br />or<br />projectfree.tv<br /><br />Pretty current shows tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-76050959065436537992014-03-22T08:42:45.074-07:002014-03-22T08:42:45.074-07:00Western Digital makes a box called WD TV Live.

You can copy your DVD's to the hard drive and it has built in software to play to catalog the movies and play them. We have one in our motorhome. They cost about $99.00 and work great. Because they have WiFi built in you can stream movies from netflix listen to music from pandora store your photos or home movies and watch them. If the drive gets full you can add an external drive via the usb ort for all the storage you will ever need. We purchased a program called DVD Cloner to copy our movie collection from home to our WD TV Live player and now we have all our movies with us when we travel.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-59789775465180348242014-03-22T08:37:59.509-07:002014-03-22T08:37:59.509-07:00Thank you for the Handbrake app. I own a ton of DV...Thank you for the Handbrake app. I own a ton of DVD that I bought legally. I have no room for all of them and I only buy the "keeper" movies that I watch over and over. I would like to transfer them to a standalone hard drive but have discovered I can't do that with many as they are copy protected. Now I can copy the movies and junk the space sucking DVDs! Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-35878004335290816442014-03-22T04:16:00.609-07:002014-03-22T04:16:00.609-07:00Don't forget "Redbox".

They often have the very latest releases, as well as a great selection of older hits. It is perfect for the RV lifestyle - all you need is a DVD player. Enjoy....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
