UltraViolet purchases can include the right to get a physical copy (called a discrete media right). The copy can be on a DVD or an SD card. You might get a DVD right there in the store, or you might be able to request that a DVD be mailed to you later, or you might be able to burn the movie to a DVD or SD card in the store or at home
UltraViolet rights can also be included with the purchase of a DVD or BD. In this case you buy the physical disc and then go through a registration process to active the movie in your UltraViolet digital locker. (You don't get an additional discrete media right to use later, since in effect you've already used it.)
Yes lots of unanswered questions we shall see when its released in the next few months. It says this also on the front of the UV website:
Not sure what they mean by that yet. Again we shall see...Disc-copy rights will be part of an optional disc/download bundle. Alternative physical
media formats may be offered instead of DVD
