Among the content being made available on CinemaNow are over 100 episodes from HDNet’s vast library of original series including “Across America”, “Get Out!” and several other HDNet specials. As part of the agreement, users of CinemaNow will be able to download permanent copies of HDNet’s programming for unlimited playback on the device they download it to.
