It looks like you need an internet connection to authorize a rented movie to play. If this is the case, how do watch a rented movie, if you do not have access to the internet? For example, in an airport or on an airplane?
iPad, iOS 7.0.4
To note I have fully downloaded movies on two occassion, and could not watch them on the plane. As soon as I got hooked back up to the internet, no problems. Contacted Store/Mac App Store Customer Support and they stated "please know that an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback of movie rentals" and refered me to the following link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4095 that states the same.
Reading comments, it looks like you need an internet connection to start the movie, once started you can view without an internet connection. This limits the 30 days to view down to 24 hours, i.e. the day of your travel. Good to know this restriction going forward.
