Jan 31, 2013 12:53 PM in response to Mallacby varjak paw,Verizon is not correct, at least not as iTunes rentals are intended. Everything from the iTunes Store, sales or rentals, is downloaded. So at least in most cases, once a rental is completely downloaded to your device, you can watch it without needing a network connection.
In some cases, though, iTunes seems to insist on a connection to the iTunes Store for authorization, even with the movie completely downloaded. I've not been able to determine any reason from the various reports why it works correctly for some but not for others. So the safe play is to plan on only purchased movies for your trips and use rentals for when you know you'll have an Internet connection.
Regards.
