Watching/Downloading Offline movies?

[Aqualoon]

Not sure what to call it, sorry for the confusing thread title.

Basically this past weekend I didn't have internet due to storms, well I stream everything and don't have a DVD player. I have bought like 200 Movies/TV Episodes on Amazon Video, I believe I can download these.

My question is, what do I need to be looking at/for to watch these offline?

Itunes, Windows/Xbox Store I know for sure do. I can't vouch for any others.

Amazon used to let you download their purchased titles, I had some, but as far as I can tell they dropped that feature when they re-branded everything as Prime, at least on PC. If its still there is buried somewhere that isn't obvious anymore.

What are you using for streaming, a pc, iphone, Android? The Amazon App for Android and iPhone has a download option.

 

[Aqualoon]

I have a smart TV, so has Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, Vue already on it.

In short downloading video titles on Amazon is severely restricted.

Hmm, that's for Prime titles, I'm talking about the movies that I actually bought...but it may be the same restrictions. Maybe I should look at buying my digital moves through Playstation Vue or Google Video or something else.

Do you know of any service that allows the buyer to download their digital content?

I just want to be ready for when this happens again.

Amazon has that restriction for movies you buy too. Lots of people are pissy about that situation.

...

Yeah, I can imagine.

Hmm...this isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be.
