I wish Netflix did do a download-and-watch - then I could watch films on
the train. The problem of DRM is well solved so I do not know why they
don't...


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


Tv has been doing it for ages.

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.


No adverts on Netflix, or iPlayer though.

Amaozn do allow some downloading AIUI
