Locate the transaction on the television box
The OSNtv Companion purchase article explicitly says renting and buying are not supported within the Companion App. Use the physical OSNtv set-top box for those transactions. A missing purchase button on the phone therefore has a documented product explanation; it is not, by itself, evidence that reinstalling the mobile application will reveal a checkout or restore a failed payment.
Check whether the rented item can be watched there
After a box rental or purchase, the publisher says viewing may be available through Companion within the permitted period. The wording is conditional. Open the actual transaction and programme on the intended device rather than assuming every box purchase has identical mobile availability. Keep a rental receipt separate from an ordinary subscription confirmation, since they answer different questions about access.
Plan the start and finish separately
The rental article gives30 days in which to begin watching and 48 hours after starting to finish. Those clocks solve different planning problems. Renting before a trip may leave time to begin later, but starting a few minutes of the film brings the shorter finish window into play. The same documented rules apply on the box and through Companion; changing screens does not establish a fresh rental period.
Verify the account route before troubleshooting
The Companion area inside OSN+ is documented for eligible OSNtv customers supplied through Vodafone Qatar or Omantel fibre packages. Its login entry is Log in with OSNtv, using the provider number and a code sent to the registered phone. Match that route to the actual television service. A separate OSN+ streaming login should not be assumed to contain the same box transactions automatically.
