Do I need to be online to watch purchased tv shows?

Do I need to be online to watch tv shows purchased from the iTunes store?

Not if you have downloaded the movie to your iPad?
Sorry, not too sure of TV shows.

    once you download a movie, do you need to be online to watch it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

    Hi Miriam1972,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use iTunes on your laptop to download the tv shows for viewing. See this article for the steps to download the shows:

  • HT1491 How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?

    How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?

    There are two kinds of content, streaming and downloaded. If your show is a streaming show you have to be on the internet to view it. (akin to you not being able to watch youtube videos without being on the net)
    Downloaded files can be watched anytime (within the constraints of the DRM of course)

  • HT1304 watching purchased TV shows without internet connection on iPad

    I would like to watch purchased TV shows on my ipad in airplane mode when I open using the vidio app I get the message (The requested URL was not found on this server) what can I do?

  • Need to be online to watch rented iTunes movie?

    After I've downloaded a rented movie to my computer, is it necessary to be online to watch it?
    I'd like to watch it on a plane.
    thanks!

    You do not have to be online.

  • Need internet (wifi) to watch purchased tv show?

    Hello,
    I am going on vacation to Dominican Republic with my one year old.  I want to purchase some episodes for him to watch on plane, etc.  Once an episode is purchased, do I need internet to watch the downloaded show?? 
    How do I get the episode onto the ipad so that no internet/wifi is needed to watch it?
    Thanks!

    When you purchase a TV show or film on your iPad via the iTunes store app they will download into the Videos app - you shouldn't need to be online to access them once they have fully downloaded and are in Videos. You can also buy/download them on your computer and sync them to the iPad (again they will go into the Videos app).

  • How can I watch purchased TV shows on my analog TV?

    Is there any practical way to watch the TV shows I have purchased from the iTunes store on my analog TV?
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe AppleTV is an option for me because it outputs to digital TVs, only, right?
    I am willing to go either wired or wireless, given the following restraints:
    My analog TV has the following inputs (only):
    F connection - coaxial
    Composite video - yellow RCA plug
    My desktop G4 and my TV are about 35-40 ft apart by air (two walls in between), or 50 ft by wire.
    *Wireless options:*
    My Mac presently has no wireless capability, but I could add either an original AirPort card (11b) or a PCI wireless card (11g).
    *Does anyone know of a wireless box that will connect to my analog TV and receive wirelessly transmitted iTunes content?*
    I also have a digital-to-analog converter for digital broadcast TV - any way to use that to convert AppleTV output to analog?
    *Wired options:*
    My video card (ATI 9200 flashed for Mac) has S-video out, and I have an S-video-to-RCA adaptor.
    The cheapest and simplest option looks like 50 ft of RCA cable.
    *Does anyone know if 50 ft run of RCA cable is doable for video and audio?*
    My G4 also has an ethernet port, presently in use for my DSL modem, but I believe I could free up that connection if there is an ethernet solution that will connect to my TV.
    Thanks,

    Wouldn't it be great if I could just burn a DVD and pop it into the DVD player connected to my TV? I know, I know ... but wouldn't it be great?

    I failed to mention it - but yes, my TV does have the red and white RCA plugs for audio in addition to the yellow one for video.
    The video-capable iPod is a good idea, but I just got a Shuffle (gift), and would be reluctant to buy a second iPod at this time. In addition to the initial cost of the iPod, I have read the cable needed for video-out can be expensive for some models.
    I may have found an easy solution, though not as cheap and reliable as I had hoped. While looking for 50 ft of composite video/audio cable (not in stock at Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, or Best Buy), I made an impulse purchase: the Terk "TV Anywhere" model LF-30S - a wireless solution.
    Unfortunately, it's a 2.4 GH device, the same as my cordless phone, which causes serious interference - a common complaint about this product. With my phone unplugged, the video looks OK on my TV. I haven't yet heard the audio, because I needed another adaptor to go from 1/8" headphone jack to red/white RCA.
    Pending the results of further testing, I haven't decided if I will keep the TV Anywhere or return it. A hard wire would be half the price, but would require drilling holes in my hardwood floors for basement cable routing - but if I get any audio hiss or pops from the wireless, that's what I'll do.

  • Apple TV, Do I have to have an internet connection to the PC or MAC to watch purchased tv shows on my Apple TV ?

    Yesterday my internet went down . I thought OK I will watch a couple shows while I wait.  When I brought up my apple TV it failled to start the show. The message came up that the PC needed to be authorized.  Well no internet no authorization and NO TV SHOW. I was ******.  Is there a way around this ? Is this normal behavior ?
    Once the internet provider restored service everything worked as normal.

    internet connection is not required to watch movie rentals. but you should be sure that the movie rental was fully downloaded. I suggest it would be better to rent on a computer, download on a computer and after this you can transfer the rental to iPad mini. For transferring movie rentals internet connect is required.
    Here are the steps described, how to transfer movie rentals from computer to iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1390

  • I used to be able to rent movies on iTunes and watch them offline while I'm traveling.  Now I get an error that states I need to be online to watch my rental.  Is there a fix?

    I travel for work so I've enjoyed renting movies on iTunes and then watch them on my laptop or iPad while I'm in the air.  Lately (last month or two), I've not been able to watch them offline and get an error that indicates they cannot be lauched unless I'm online.  I notice that there seem to be many people who also experience this issue.  Has a policy changed?  All of my Apple products and iTunes library are on the latest versions.

    You'll have to reinstall iPhoto in order to get the themes linked back to the application. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

  • How can I watch purchased itunes shows on my tv w/o apple tv?

    I bought the Futurama season pass and I want to watch the episodes in 50 inch HD, but I don't have apple tv and myimac is too far from the tv for a cable so how can I do this?
    I have a google tv box that will talk to my pc laptop, and an xbox 360 with a program called xbox connect that tricks the xbox into thinking my imac is a pc so i can stream music and videos but i cant get purchased itunes videos.
    can i authorize the pc laptop on my itunes account and copy the shows to it and then play them on the google tv box via the pc? (im at work and i cant just try it myself)

  • Seeing a green screen when trying to watch purchased tv show...

    Greetings from MN! Hope someone either can help or refer me to a past posting of someone else having this same problem.
    Why am I seeing the color green instead of the tv show I purchased? What most likely is missing on a person's computer when someone sees a green screen? Sound is fine, but the picture is a solid green screen.
    I have an S3 Savage Pro 32MB AGP Video component.
    Help! Thank you...oomgowah
