Help understanding Google play

[jo69]

I need advice regarding Google play.
Have only used it to download apps so far
But was looking at the movies and there are 2 or 3 I am interested in.

I just wondered how the rent and buy works
Do you have a limited time if you rent?

If you buy are they actually yours?
If I download a movie to my nexus 7 can I move it to my PC to save and rewatch at a later date?
Thanks

Here's how it works ... if you rent a movie or TV show from the play store, you have a limited time to watch it. Here's what Google says ...

Once you've rented a video on Google Play, you'll have two time periods that correspond to your rental.

• The amount of time you have to start watching your rental after completing your rental transaction (rental grant period).
• The amount of time you have to watch your rental after you

Thanks for a very clear answer
Was hoping it worked similar to my kindle books to buy, then pick up where you left off on any PC gadget.
Is there a similar site that would work better for me, to save bought movies on PC and add to my nexus 7 ?

can ChromeCast play any 'pinned' (offline) movies from a Nexus 10 maybe? i'd like to watch my library on my large HDTV but my internet is too slow to properly stream them

Sorry, don't know that much about ChromeCast.
