Q: Can I watch a rented movie offline?

I would like to rent a movie for my airplane flight in a few day, but will not have internet. Is there anyway I can download the complete movie, and watch it offline?

 

Thank you!

    When you rent a film it's downloaded onto the device/computer that you rented it on, and you should be able to watch it (Videos app if using an iOS device) whilst offline - some people have posted that they've need to be online when first starting to watch a rental, so you may want to watch a few seconds whilst you still have an internet connection. After starting to watch a rental you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, before it expires.
