This thing is killing me. Must have internet connection to start a downloaded movie. The recommendation is to turn on AirPlane mode. Then my damn wireless headphones don't work. Arghhh!!
Got a tip for us?

Am I the only one frustrated by the TV app?

What are you even talking about?
Im frustrated, but for a different reason. The main one being no 'autoplay' or 'play next' feature. Not to even mention the layout on startup...
However, you can have the device in airplane mode and still enable bluetooth for your headphones.

Sorry, now about step by step:
- Download any iTunes movie to iPad.
- Turn off WiFi. ( sort of like, driving cross country, or out on a boat 10 miles off shore, or in a plane )
- Try to watch your movie.
The headphones are a minor issue ( just salt in the wound ), the iPad's inability to play an iTunes movie is the real issue.

What! Maybe there is hope!
UPDATE: Heck yeah! That's why I post here... so many smart people. By default, airplane mode turns off Bluetooth, but as mentioned, you can turn it right back on and headphones reconnect.
Well at least it's something.
I still think I should be able to play a movie I have downloaded without fiddling with settings while out relaxing after sailing all night. Yeah, yeah... I just reread that and it's bad. I also get mad when birds take a dump on my Porsche and I have to wait for the help to wash it again. ( I made that last part up... I never wait... ). For the sassy people: I do not own help, nor a Porsche.
My sugar momma does.

Hope you took that all tongue and cheek. The movie thing is annoying. Apparently, I find myself in areas with no internet access way more than the Apple pundits.
