Purchased movies from xbox store..why cant i download for offline use

Digital movies purchased form the Microsoft store are only streamed to your console, there is no download option so you require a connection to view them.

On a Windows 10 PC you can use the Movies and TV app to download them for offline viewing.

For more information, see Microsoft Store: Movies & TV and Movies Anywhere.

Correct, and just to add a reference point,
this is covered on this page, here. It specifically says:

• Purchases from Movies & TV are not downloaded to your console but are streamed over the Internet to your console or other Movies & TV-compatible devices. For more information, see Microsoft
  Store: Movies & TV.

Now, what you CAN do with that, is sign up for
Movies Anywhere. Then all of your eligible Microsoft Movies & TV content will sync over with Movies Anywhere and then you could use a service that DOES allow you to download and watch the movie offline, though through a very cursory search does not look
like there is an option on Xbox One? Vudu is a Movies Anywhere app, though I have never used it to see if you can download titles for offline play.

Thanks for adding the extra info.

I would point out though that Movies Anywhere is only available in the US.

Hi

Digital movies purchased form the Microsoft store are only streamed to your console, there is no download option so you require a connection to view them.

On a Windows 10 PC you can use the Movies and TV app to download them for offline viewing, but the Xbox doesn't have this feature.

Until I am able to download movies via Xbox One, I will not be buying or renting any movies from the XB1 Video store. I'll use Fios for renting and purchase blurays until Xbox corrects this oversight.
