How can I watch my purchased movie off-line ?

Hi,


I have purchased the movie "Elvis" in order to watch it during my flight tomorrow. I saved it in my TV library. How can I watch it off-line ? When I switch of the wi-fi it doesn't work. There is no wi.fi during my flight tomorrow. I will appreciate very much a quick reply so that I can watch it tomorrow.


Best regards/Canan

For Apple TV/iTunes Store purchases:

You’ll need to download the content on the device that you will use to view it on. You can’t transfer the file to different devices after download. Content downloaded in the TV app should be viewed in the TV app.

A download symbol should appear when you hover the mouse pointer over a movie tile in your library. It should turn into a blue button when hovering exactly over that symbol. Click it to start the download to the default location (as set in TV app Preferences). That may take some time, depending on your internet speed. See the Activity window for progress. After that, the content would be available offline. (I have just tested a fresh download again to verify for the latest Monterey release.)
