Netflix Reveals Downloads for On the Go Watching; DirecTV Now Launches

Which deal do you prefer?

Netflix has offered up a new solution that will allow subscribers to download movies and watch them on the go without an internet connection at no additional cost. Basically how it works is you select the stuff you want to watch, download them while still connected to the internet, then you can watch those programs when you are on an airplane or subway where internet isn’t as available.

The new feature is available for all Netflix plans and works for both iOS and Android devices.
