Last year Netflix added the ability to download movies and TV shows to phones and tablets. Now it seems that there are some limitations to the service.
You are only allowed to download a show or movies a finite number of times every year. This all comes from Android Police, who noticed that messages have started to pop up on some movies and TV shows.
Although Netflix has not listed what the limitations, the help page says “Due to studio limits, you may not be able to renew all titles. If you are unable to renew a title but would still like to watch it, you’ll need to connect to the Internet to stream.” So Netflix does say that that there will be times you won’t be able to download a show again.
This limitation is added to the fact that some offline content will auto delete 48 hours after you start to watch it.
Even with these limitations, the new Netflix offline option is a huge improvement. It takes away one of the features that Amazon used to standout from Netflix. It has become so popular that even Hulu has announced plans to release offline viewing.
