You only can stream Netflix. You can't download and keep.

Oh bum, thanks . Anyone know any UK provider that does this i.e. NOW TV maybe? I know there are ways you can access US providers that do...

I think Sky do it. You download the movie using the sky box and they send you a DVD, Or theres iTunes.

Don't have Sky sub, but they do it with NOW TV maybe? I want it on a big screen so I'd need to pick up Apple TV with itunes. Looks like either way I'll need a box or use a US service with VPN.....

I don't know if NOW TV do it. I wouldn't imagine so.

Knowhow Movies do, sort of. It's PPV, but you have the option to buy and can stream it as often as you like.

I bought Dark Knight Rises a couple of years ago with a £20 credit with a new TV.

I've since upgraded to new 4k set and it's still available. 1080p but not DD 5.1.

Looks like it's become CinemaNow derek, a cursory look shows a limited range of titles.

OK the max NowTV does is 720p, also mentions streaming only so I'm guessing no dl to own.

With Apple TV you can buy off iTunes, it's yours to keep but you still stream.
You can however download from iTunes to either a computer/laptop, iPhone or iPad.

Thanks, didn't know this, not being an itunes user I never considered you could use it without an apple device, seems you can, so it's an option .

Noticed that on the website. It's still branded Knowhow on my LG smart TVs.

720p only? That's news to me? It is 1080p as far as I know?
