A: Once the internal storage is full, the Strato V will automatically delete older played movies to make room for your new movie purchase.
Q: Can I tag certain movies so they are not automatically removed from the server?
A: Of course! Simply mark the movies you want to keep on the Strato V as “Favorites”.

Q: Can I add a Terra Prime or Terra Server to the Strato V for additional storage?
A: Absolutely! Once you group the Strato V with a Terra Prime or Terra Server, the Strato V onscreen interface (UI) reverts to the full Kaleidescape poster wall with the shuffle, list view and collections features you are used to seeing.
Q: Can I use the internal storage of the Strato V in conjunction with a Terra Server or Terra Prime Server?
A: No, once you group the Strato V with a Terra Server or a Terra Prime Server, the internal storage of the Strato V is disabled.
Q: If I add a Terra Server or Terra Prime Server, will the movies I have stored on the Strato V be automatically moved over to my server?
