Bright House Road Runner Video Store Offers Thousands of Movie Titles

The Road Runner Video Store offers thousands of movies with new titles being added continually. Easy to use, it gives consumers options to enjoy their favorite digital content along with search functionality that allows users to search by title, actor, studio, and genre. Additional features are under development, including the addition of HD content, as well as DVD Click and Ship whereby consumers can purchase DVDs online and have them sent directly to their home.

"The Road Runner Video Store is the latest example of how we are extending our customer's' video experience beyond the set-top box," said Kevin Hyman, executive vice president of cable operations for Bright House Networks. "As the consumption of video expands onto new platforms and devices we will continue to provide solutions to meet customers' demand."

The Road Runner Video Store titles run from $9.99 to 13.99 for download to own, while movie rental prices are $3.99. TV series are $1.99 per episode with full-season ordering available. Charges will appear on customers' credit cards.

Bright House PowerBoost Provides Faster Movie Download Time

In addition to the Road Runner Video Store, Bright House Networks recently launched PowerBoost to all Road Runner Turbo customers. PowerBoost will jumpstart a large file download to help reduce overall download time for Turbo customers to get even quicker access to on-line multimedia such as the videos available at the Road Runner Video Store.
