How to view/stream an episode from a year old TV series
I recorded Homeland series 3 last year and am currently viewing it. For some reason which I have only just realised, episode 8, The Red Wheelbarrow, failed. Is there some way I can download this episode on my IPad (I have Chromecast) without subscribing to something like Netflix? Thank you.
