Do you need Wifi to watch a rented movie on a tablet?

Re: Do you need Wifi to watch a rented movie on a tablet?
Once you download the movie, you don't need wifi to watch it. So just allow some time for it to download before you leave the house.

Re: Do you need Wifi to watch a rented movie on a tablet?
if you stream you'll need wifi or data if you download it can be watched later without internet connection.
I usually keep 1-2 things downloaded off netflix or amazon on my kindle for needed distraction or entertainment away from home.

Re: Do you need Wifi to watch a rented movie on a tablet?
That's new, I think. You can only download some episodes (or movies) and there will be a download symbol to click next to those. There's also a way to search downloadable things now.

Does the download just disappear in a few days?

Re: Do you need Wifi to watch a rented movie on a tablet?
Apparently the time limit varies among shows, but yes, they will expire after a few days or maybe a week.https://help.netflix.com/en/node/54865
Also see if your library has a download app like Hoopla for books and movies.

Re: Do you need Wifi to watch a rented movie on a tablet?
Well, I rented the movie and could not watch it away from Wifi.
The choices were SD or HD. I chose SD because it was $1 cheaper. Wondering if HD might work away from Wifi. Probably not. I'll keep checking for a movie to buy that is not $15

Re: Do you need Wifi to watch a rented movie on a tablet?
You rented it and took the extra step of downloading it?

Re: Do you need Wifi to watch a rented movie on a tablet?
I don't know. I watched it (well, skipped thru it) the night before, thinking that would download it. I don't think it gave me the option of downloading, it just did it, put it in the "library" that is.
