Streaming. for a short time u get it. Download, right into the harddrive, but how safe is it? Once I have downloaded it,can i burn it to a disc? Iam paying for it.

If it's on your HD, you can burn a DVD (assuming it is smaller than the 4.? GB capacity of a DVD) You're better off downloading to a portable HD that avoids the need to burn DVDs.

Regarding safety, you can perform a virus scan on the file before running/playing it for the first time.

well, it´s not an issue of streaming or downloading . Once you have a connection to a NET a Virus can always enter your "platform" (if one exist for a given platform off course) and a portable HD is not an excuse not to burn something if you want to "own" it longer than the lifespan of your external HD :)

Don't assume the DVDs you burn will outlast your portable HD. Unless you're using VERY high quality blanks, those DVDs you burn have a relatively short life expectancy. I believe your HD will easily outlast the DVDs you burn.
