Watching films with no Internet connection

Sunshine_and_Roses

What are the best sites or apps to use to download films or TV programmes to watch off line? I need some entertainment on a flight, used to use Showbox but does not seem to work on my phone anymore. I think that iplayer is only for a week or so?

Sorry for daft question, not very technically minded!

Sky go offer downloads now - as do netflix.


Any other suggestions (and there are many) would be telling you how to pirate movies - which is not allowed here

Amazon Prime also allow downloads on some stuff, never tried it though.

Great, I have both amazon prime and sky go, will start having a look!!

On Sky Go, I can either download to a sky box or watch online, can't see how to download to watch offline on my phone. Am I doing something wrong?

Still trying to work out how to download from Amazon ��

Uugh - you need sky go EXTRA - that's an extra £5 - Sorry i just presumed it was the default behaviour.


You could do the netflix 1 month free trail thing, and cancel it before the month is up

BBC Iplayer varies depending on the programme. Some of the old stuff is available for months. Others you can't download at all and have to watch streaming.

I've not used it recently, but TalkTalkTv (used to be Blinkbox) I think offers downloads.

There are some old films on YouTube (as in, so old the copyright has expired). But there are a few classics like Casablanca.

There are also quite a few documentaries and TV programmes.

There are plenty of sites/tools that let you download YouTube videos to watch offline.

Hi, sorry for hi-jacking your thread! When I click on youtube movies it sometimes diverts me to a website and I'm asked to register to continue watching. Has anyone any experience of these sites, is registration purely to inundate email with spam? The films I want to watch can't be rented or bought, mostly old tv and 70's films. Many of the sites I'm being sent to have the very things I want to watch so I'm tempted to hit the register button, but am rather hesitant.

You'll be lucky if you can get Sky go/Extra to work, I've been trying for months, all I get is 'download Silverlight' and go round and round in circles being sent back to same download Silverlight page!

^^ Can you provide an example to this issue - It smells awefully like a malware redirect to me
