I use it but haven't tried it when disconnected. I assume you can because you can choose to either stream or download the file. -
I downloaded it for some ugly betty and found I had to watch it within 48 before DRM kicked in, £2.50 a go... I've now got rid of it, why should I not be able to type in my tv license number rather than my credit card number? nah left a bitter taste.

On a more general note, I avoid DRM-protected stuff on a matter of principle, not because I pirate (I don't). There is so much entertainment around that I don't have time for it all, so why mess about with anything that annoys me? And a distribution medium ignorant of the fact that things have changed from the days of very few broadcasters and little choice, is something that annoys me.Originally posted by scooterscotI downloaded it for some ugly betty and found I had to watch it within 48 before DRM kicked in, £2.50 a go...

I tried it but it installs a P2P server so others will download programmes off your machine whilst you are connected. I just didn't have the bandwidth (512K) to support that.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
