Amazon deleted a video I purchased

Thanks, darryl. That being the case, one should of course follow their advice and promptly download it!

My comment is that given the prices paid and the download restrictions this is not in my view acceptable. And it should be given far more prominence than it is. Having said that, I suspect other services of this type would be the same.

What are the download restrictions? Can you only download it to one device?

Darryl gave you a link which answers your question.

Downloading: You may download videos you purchase to two compatible download devices, such as Fire tablets (other than Kindle Fire 1st Generation) and Android and iOS devices.

How is buying a movie or TV show digitally (which is the case with the OP) any different than buying an eBook? (I'm not talking about something like Prime or Netflix, but something like Vudu, iTunes or Amazon Video [non-rentals])

It isn't: it's exactly the same. Buy it. Download it. Never rely on someone else to store it for you.

The historical Korean csi is: "ByeolSunGeom".

Can also be found as "BSG Police" in a search criteria.

I just found that YouTube has some episodes & trailers; should have checked there long ago. And after reading about downloading, I may just do that even tho I usually watch with a Fire TV on my AVR. I've never tried Amazon's web for viewing but have found that Amazon did have the BSG Police available for computer streaming at one point.

Oh well, will be checking out "Chousun Police" to see if it has the same "plots"(?).

The issue is I paid an exorbitant price (to me, $35 for something I could get free off the TV is exorbitant) and I like to watch it on my big TV. I just started binge watching, and going to the computer to watch this and then back to the TV interrupts the binge watching. I don't think you are supposed to move during binge watching. At least I didn't for the first 9 seasons (I watched 4 or 5 at a time, not the entire 9 seasons!).

It's a rule. Exceptions are to go to the fridge, the restroom, or the microwave. That's it. Any other interruption breaks the Code of the Binge.

Well, sometimes I have to pet my cat if she demands it. Does that make me a Code Breaker?

Only if you have to pause for an extended period as the cat blocks the view of the TV.

You can, of course, be granted special dispensation for extenuating circumstances. Just ask if you have any other Binge Code questions. A knowledgeable binge-er is nearly always within hailing distance.
