Download and go - which movie service

[Goshawk]

So am reading and testing which companies will allow a download and go type service for paid subscriptions. You need to be very careful of the advertised capabilities. Starting this thread to get others to share what they have discovered

I have VUDU service owned by Walmart and linked to ULTRAVIOLET licensing. My owned movies have been properly registered at a fee. This allows me to download my movies and watch them upon demand from the cloud. VUDU is set to do this. You download the movie while maybe using WIFI at Starbucks. Then watch it at some future time. Once you start watching you have 48 hours to complete watching. When you will need to synchronize with your account again.

AMAZON PRIME has something similar. You can download your movies that you have a right to watch. And then leave the wifi access point (leave Starbucks). Watch it any time. But once you start watching you have 48 hours before the movie times out.

STARZ is just starting up this same service.

Does anyone have experience with HBOGO? Or with HULU? How about YOUTUBE RED?

Know that NETFLIX will not work this way.

I have had Netflix and Hulu paid accounts in the past but I currently am content with just using Amazon prime. The membership has a lot of bonus features that the others don't, such as a music service that also has offline abilities, free shipping of items on the site to one of their lockers that are located in most major cities, unlimited cloud space for photos, and a bunch of other stuff. We only really watch tv/movies maybe one night a week so the selection has been way more then adequate for us. If you watch a lot of content daily however you might find it lacking, idk.

*edit, actually if your willing to pay per view the selection is most likely the biggest out of any service. We only watch content that is included with the prime account however.

On Prime, how do you download a show for later watching? I'm toying around with it now and don't see any way other than streaming...

Officially it's only available for "mobile" devices not computers or laptops.  

I personally bypass this dumb restriction with a free android on PC simulator:
