Choosing a service to download (not stream) tv shows?

In response to GordonThree's comment, true. I'll just plead the Hillary Clinton defense.
Like I said, used it for 3 years with no problems.

The other people in the store who can't do anything.

If you are bandwidth limited, as I am today. You can often download for later viewing, may take 2-4 hours per hour of video but it can be done.

If bandwidth is limited, nothing is more inconsiderate of your fellow RVers than setting your device to download a bunch of data effectively shutting out all of the other users in the park. Thankfully, there is effective software and router settings that can block and disconnect such usage.

Try Playlater a $20 subscription service for downloading Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc. It is legal and according to CNET easy to use. https://www.playon.tv/playlater

Showbox is technically not legal in the United States or Canada. If you're located somewhere that does not participate in international copyright enforcement treaties, then by all means, it's a valid app.

It is the modern equivalent to running a hacked cable or sat box back in the 80's

Since Showbox does not seem to be on the play store, do you have a 'safe' link to a download?

Naio the other possibility I know of is a service called nightshift. It allows downloading of Netflix products into a thumb drive for viewing later. The company requires a specific wifi router and charged a monthly fee.

It was ok but after Netflix started allowing downloading I dropped it. What was nice was that with a 100 gig thumb drive, you could have a lot of stuff downloaded.

I like to download content from Netflix to my IOS device. I play it on a big TV with a cable adapter. Not all movies and shows are available to download, and they will expire.

Here is a link with details-

A second option is to download rental movies and shows from iTunes or Amazon. Most of the time they will stay on your device and only expire within a week of starting the show.
