HT1657 Can I watch a rented movie while I have no Internet connection ie. on a flight

If I download a rented movie can I play it if I have no Internet connection?

Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.

Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

    Well, then there's this statement:
    iTunes Store: Viewing and downloading HD content on iPad - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4095 > Movie Rentals on iPad >     *Movies rented on iPad cannot be transferred to other devices and can only be viewed on iPad. * An Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback of movie rentals.
    The statement has flexibility in interpretation though.  Maybe you just need to start playback and then it will continue?

  • HT1657 can I watch a rented movie offline

    i have rented several movies to try to watch on a flight, when I won't have access to wifi.  Is this possible?
    I think I've done it before, but I can't seem to make it work this time

    Today, I couldn't watch a fully downloaded rented film on a plane using my iPod Touch.  I've opened a ticket with iTunes support.
    Apparently, the device needs to be connected in order to start the viewing process.
