I recently purchased and downloaded a TV show from the iTunes Store to watch on my iPad on a transoceanic flight without WiFi. When I tried to open iTunes to view the show a message said I had to be connected to the iTunes Store to access the video. How can I watch purchased movies offline? What about Netflix?

iPad, iOS 4.3.2

You can't watch Apple movies offline on OS X. Amazingly, it took hours with the help desk and several escalations before I was told this. All I've found that works is Amazon and Netflix download movies on iOS, which works fine.
