Watching downloaded content on plane

Hi

 

Have downloaded content from Sky Go app onto Kindle to watch on flight. (Six hours but deemed too short for entertainment)  All other things being equal, is there any technical reason I may not be able to watch? 

 

Also downloaded some Prime stuff from their app, so will be interesting to compare.

 

Thank you.

It "should" work as you will need to have all mobile data connection turned off so feel free to let us know how you get on !

Hi

 

Thanks. Bit confused by ref to "all data connection turned off", as this is a Kindle HD with WiFi capacity only. 

BTW- I recall downloading onto an iPad a few years ago and was unable to watch on the flight.

I missed the bit about your device being a Kindle but even so it will be interesting to see how you get on as this is something that should work but like your previous experience it might not.

Re: Watching downloaded content on plane

Thanks. Knowing my luck, I'll be frustrated again. Perhaps other sages will have come across this phenomenon and know  the rationale for it. Personally, can't see any thyme or reason, when content is physically downloaded onto device etc.
