Watch video on demand on Google Fiber TV

This article applies to customers who have the new version of Fiber TV. If you have the older version of our user interface, please view this article on how to watch video on-demand content.

With video on demand (VOD), you have access to thousands of movies and TV shows that you can watch at your convenience. You can even stop or pause a show and start watching it again whenever you like. And because VOD programs are always available, there's no need to record them.

You'll find the following types of content in the On Demand library:

• Free: A lot of VOD content is free of charge.

• Free with subscription: Some free VOD content is available only if you subscribe to the channel or network that provides it. For example, if you subscribe to Showtime, you can watch Showtime VOD content free of charge.

• Paid: Some VOD content costs a small fee and is available to watch for 24 to 48 hours, depending on the content. The fees for all VOD rentals in one month appear on your next month's bill.
