Absolutely, this is a great device for movies. If you subscribe to Netflix or hulu or something like that you can stream shows. You can also dowwnload them or copy them from you desktop or laptop to watch when you don't have a good WiFi connection.

It's a feature they say is "coming soon." Right now you can only stream at home on the same network...but you can download shows to go....

If you have Netflix you can stream movies. Another way is to use the desktop to download then transfer it to a micro SD to watch. Works great on video.

Probably, you wcan watch movies from crackle, a free movies app, and they stream just fine

I have never attempted to download a movie on mine. I download movies on my desktop and put them on a mini SD card and use that the watch movies on the tablet.

Absolutely! We watch Netflix and Youtube all the time - those apps are already installed when you get it

So if you are away you will need internet to view it.... Say on your phone through the app... Other wise to watch it at home no internet is needed

I haven't tried that feature but games and apps can be played on there like Netflix and Youtube, so I'm sure you can......sorry I couldn't give you a solid yes or no

No. Netflix & Vudu for online services. (Also, I may be wrong if Amazon prime will load movies into your Vudu account).

Much more complicated than slingbox. Does allow you to download recorded shows to your phone, laptop etc. and take with you to watch when no wifi, as on a plane.

Yes. That's pretty much the bulk of what we use ours for. There's the Amazon instant video app that works like a charm.

YES-but. How that would work is that you would need to be connected to your GenieGo (WiFi or wired) and then "download to your device". Once it is downloaded onto your authorized device (iPad, phone etc) then you can watch where ever.Here is a link with more infohttps://support.directv.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3495/~/how-do-i-download-the-geniego-app-on-my-computer-or-mobile-device%3FThere are two ways to watch your recorded shows. Stream from the GenieGo, or download and watch later. It can take a bit of time to download though, so I usually just stream because I'm always at my WiFi when I watch in my bedroom. YES-but.

You do not need a 'Data Plan' to stream movies, pictures, or files. It works on Android devices. Be sure it works with Apple devices. In theory, it should work with Apple...
