Bought iPad2 with wi-fi with understanding I could download nearly 10 movies, but, after a few apps and three movies/TV show, ran out of storage space. Trying to change movie from HD to standard, but, cannot figure it out.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.

The wifi iPad 2 came in three capacities, 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB. Which iPad 2 did you purchase?

Normally you select the quality of video you wish to download directly on the iPad 2 when you make the purchase.

If you are syncing your iPad 2 to a computer, you can designate whether you want HD or SD videos in the Preference settings.

No, you cannot increase the storage capacity of an iPad. iCloud, as you know, is only accessible over the wi-fi. As long as you do not store anything else on the iPad you may get close to 10 SD movies, they are usually around 700 MB.

No.

I have been testing at home at "airplane" mode to see which of apps/movies I can access.

If you do not have wifi access, you can only access movies (and all other data) sync'd to you device.

Plug in the iPad and select it in iTunes.

At bottom is a little graph showing how much space you have/are using.

No. You can buy an external HD like a SeaGate Go Flex Satelite drive but you have to have the movies on your computer, and then transfer them to the drive.

Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can see how much storage capacity that you have left and what all of the apps are using for storage.
