I'm still not sure I understand it!

I mentally equate "over and over" with "more than once", ie: no-rewind.
Or is it a more subtle difference, like "you can watch it at a later
time, and rewind parts of it if you need to, but not rewind the entire
thing and watch it twice"?

Seems very nebulous to me. Anyone care to clarify?

Cheers   :-)
