so I can download it once I rent, but not begin play until I actually start watchng on the plane? yes, I am that unknowledgable about this
Thank you!!
First off, happy to help, that's what we're here for.
Next, the answer to all your questions is "correct".
Rent = You have 30 days to watch it. Once you hit the Play button, you have 24 hours to watch it as many times as you want (skip back, skip forward, etc.) but once the 24 hours are up it deletes itself from your iPad.
Buy = You own it, no restrictions on plays per month, day, etc.
Note that these will work on any iOS device or PC that you own. iPhone, iPod, iPad, iTunes (running on a computer), as well as Apple TV (different story, different day).
People don't rent or buy DVD's anymore. They download iTunes TV shows and Movies to their iOS devices.
