With the holidays coming up, having series, movies, documentaries and kids shows to watch, will go a long way in helping you deal with bored kids and grumpy teens.
When you’re not at home, internet access can be tricky and streaming videos online can rapidly deplete your data bundle.
With ShowMax you don’t need internet access
ShowMax internet TV gives you access to thousands of the best series, movies and kids shows -from Game of Thrones and The Big Bang Theory to Shaun the Sheep and local shows like Binnelanders. With the Android and Apple apps for tablets and smartphones, you can download shows at home and watch them offline – no data needed.
Download up to 25 shows and watch them later
Download up to 25 shows at a time over Wi-Fi and keep them for up to 30 days using the Android or iOS apps. Once you start watching a show or movie offline, you’ll have 48 hours to finish watching it.
You can watch shows as many times as you like in that 48 hour window – ideal for your kids’ favourite Shaun the Sheep episode – and download them again if you want to.
How to download movies and series with ShowMax
Open the app on your smartphone or tablet (iOS and Android) and click the download button while you’re viewing the movie or episode that you want to watch offline.
View what’s on your device as well as on other devices. You can download up to 25 shows or movies across your entire account on all connected devices.
Why is this feature so useful?
“Not everyone has fast internet access throughout the day or can afford to stream using a mobile connection,” said ShowMax Africa head Chris Savides.
“The beauty of this download feature is that as long as you’re connected at some point, perhaps using a public Wi-Fi hotspot, at work, or a night-time mobile data bundle, then you can still use ShowMax to get shows and movies.”
