Q: Movies on TV from iPad without internet

Hello,  I live in a rural area part of the time without internet access.  Can I download movies to my iPad from iTunes on a rental basis in the city and then play them on my country TV system---a projector and receiver which supports Airplay--- without any intemet services?  In other words without connecting my iPad directly to the television receiver can I play rental movies etc wirelessly?

 

Thanks,

    I'm not aware of any third-party receiver that supports video over AirPlay, so you'll probably need an Apple TV. But then, as long as you have a WiFi network in your house, you should be able to play the movie through the Apple TV to your projector without needing Internet as long as the movie has completely downloaded. For more information on AirPlay see:

    In some cases, though, people have reported that even with the rental completely downloaded (or so they said) it still asked to connect to the iTunes Store, so it's not 100% reliable, it seems.


    Regards.
