I downloaded two iTunes movie rentals in anticipation of some long flights. Even though they show as "downloaded" in my TV App I can't access them in flight. With my device in airplane mode all I get is a blank screen when I start the TV App. I've searched internet and I get about 50% respondents saying you can access videos in airplane mode and the rest say no. It should be crystal clear - can I, and if so how do I?

The resolution is quite simple...BEFORE you place your phone in Airplane Mode...you MUST attempt to watch the first few seconds of the movie while connected to wireless (Airport Wireless, Home Wireless before you left home, or MiFi wireless). The key is for some odd reason, Apple needs to have the Movie started and cached and then when you go into Airplane Mode to watch the movie. We also now get 48 hours instead of 24 hours to review the Movie ?. Or at least for me and my wife as of December 2017, we are getting 48 hours.

I had the exact same thing happen on my flight. Downloaded several movies but I wasn't able to open the "tv" page, it said cannot connect no wifi. It seems pointless to need connection to watch videos that are already downloaded. It's weird because on one flight I was able to watch videos because I was watching before the plane took off and was able to watch during that flight but on the return flight I tried to watch them after take off and wasn't able to. Do we need to watch them before turning on airplane mode? What is the exact steps we need to do? Please fix this on your next update. I hate that we need connection to watch downloaded videos.

Many laptops have the ability to download the Netflix app and watch movies on them. For Mac users, this includes MacBooks, Air, and Pro models running OSX 10.7 or later. For Windows users, this includes laptops running Windows 8 or later.

Another option for watching Netflix while in airplane mode is with gaming consoles such as Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Both systems can download the Netflix app and stream movies without needing an internet connection.

It is important to note that all of these devices must be charged before getting on the plane in order to watch movies in airplane mode. You also need to make sure that they are not connected to any in-flight WiFi networks while streaming.

One of the best ways to watch Netflix on a plane without internet is to download movies and TV shows ahead of time. That way, you can enjoy your favorite Netflix content without having to worry about an internet connection. Netflix allows you to download movies and TV shows to watch later, meaning that you can have plenty of entertainment (without alcohol or tobacco) on your next flight. All you need to do is connect to a stable WiFi connection (at home or at a hotel) before your flight and then download whatever you want to watch later.

If you want to watch movies on a plane without an internet connection, you can use an external battery pack to power your device. An external battery pack is a device that can be used to store and deliver electrical energy to your device. Most external battery packs can charge multiple devices at once and hold enough power to watch a movie or two.

Before you take off, make sure you fully charge the external battery pack and your device so you can watch Netflix on the plane without needing to connect to the in-flight WiFi. You will also need to enable Airplane mode on your device, as this will disable any cellular data connections and allow the device to only use the external battery pack.

To download Netflix for offline viewing, open the Netflix app on your device, select the show or movie you want to download, click the download icon next to the title, and wait for the download to complete.

@XfinityBillie, Yes, I have downloaded multiple programs. No, i can't view any of them. The weird thing is, I can view them if I download them on my phone, but not my Samsung Galaxy Tab A. Now, once I'm no longer in airplane mode, it's not an issue.

Tip: If you want to have the best in-flight experience, consider investing in a good pair of noise-canceling headphones, like the Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth headphones. This will let you stream your favorite shows without any interruptions from other passengers.

When downloading your movies before take-off, make sure you download them in the desired quality to avoid disappointment once you board your plane and realize your movies are low quality. Remember that downloading high-quality movies will take up more space on your device. For context, Netflix uses 0.3 GB per hour on the low setting, 0.7 GB on medium, 1 GB on standard, 3 GB on HD, and 7GB on UHD (4K). A 90-minute film will use about 1 GB on medium quality and 4.5 GB on HD, so the difference is pretty significant if you have limited data.

When trying to download your shows and movies before your flight, make sure you download them using WiFi, especially if you are downloading a lot of shows and movies or if you are downloading them in high quality. This is to avoid data charges. You should always turn your phone to airplane mode when boarding a flight, but if you have your cellular data on for any reason, make sure your Netflix works only using a WiFi connection to avoid roaming charges.

In the race for video streaming domination, Netflix surges forward. On Wednesday, Netflix announced and implemented in its latest update, the ability to download TV and movie titles on mobile devices.

At no extra cost to the user, Netflix subscribers will now be able to save select content to their iOS or Android devices, then watch on the go without the need for an Internet connection. Say goodbye to lackluster in-flight movies, Netflix is now airplane-mode compatible.

The rise of Netflix, and its over 86 million subscribers, has been a force to compete with. Content providers are scrambling to stay relevant in its wake. In 2015, HBO and Showtime introduced standalone streaming services, offering cord-cutters access to premium content without a cable package.

However, what makes Netflix so attractive is the amount of content for the dollar spent. HBO Now begins at $14.99 a month. Showtime can be an add-on to a Hulu or Amazon subscription or at a standalone monthly price of $10.99. While Netflix's basic monthly package begins at $7.99, and the premium version is $11.99.

Cable providers are trying to evolve as well. Also Wednesday, AT&T launched DirecTV Now, an Internet streaming service available on phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices. In February 2015, Dish introduced Sling TV, which streams cable channels through the Internet.

The convenience of streaming TV and movies has led many people to cut the cord. Hulu subscribers are willing to pay for the most up-to-date episodes and movies, and sit through 90-second adds every few minutes. While there is a premium Hulu service which does not include commercial breaks, the "No Commercial Plan" does not apply to popular shows such as Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, and How to Get Away With Murder.

As Netflix paves the way for online streaming, you have to wonder what former Blockbuster executives are thinking now. It was 16 years ago that Blockbuster passed on purchasing the then DVD mailing service for only $50 million. Netflix is worth $50 billion. Blockbuster has just a handful of stores left.
