I wish Netflix did do a download-and-watch - then I could watch films on

The BEEB have finally got "Download" working on iPlayer radio for
Android. Havn't actually checked if TV works too.

I guess one of the reasons that providers are so keen on streaming
rather than permitting saved downloads is that they can bill advertisers
per viewing that way.
