Hi This maybe a really stupid question. Do i need to be connected to the internet to watch a downloaded film. I have a video that i would like to watch that i have got on my external hard drive. I have put the video onto my computer and would like to watch it while i am on my lunch break at work. As we don't have the internet at work, could i still watch the video or do i have to be connected to watch it, sorry it is a silly question.
Thank you.

    You're OK, you don't need to be connected to the internet to watch that video from your external hard drive.

    depends how you got the downloaded film, what software you use to play it and how they manage their DRM.... but generally no
