Although on-demand movies and TV shows pack a heavy punch with all of its advantages, it too still has some disadvantages. These include:

- Not all movies and TV series are available through thus service, so some may be left disappointed as they won’t find the content they were looking for. They will be especially disappointed if they purchased a subscription too, just to watch this programme/movie which turns out to not be available, as the subscriptions tend to be non-refundable.

- People can sometimes find ways to steal copies this content, and distribute it illegally over the internet.
