Leaving content aside, surely the vast majority of users think that HBO is far behind Netflix in terms of quality and application options. For example, Netflix has a lot of content in its catalog with 4K resolution and Dolby Vision; while HBO continues to bet on FHD resolution. Like this, there are several differences that we find between the two services. One of them was the possibility of downloading content to watch it offline on Netflix, something that HBO did not offer.And we speak in the past because the platform that rose to fame for Game of Thrones has finally decided to enable this option. So, the new version of the HBO app includes the option to download episodes and movies
Although it may not seem like it, downloading content is one of the most demanded features by users. Perhaps if we always watch our favorite series or movies at home it doesn't make much sense. But if we travel a lot and want to take advantage of idle hours in means of transport or airports, it can be very interesting. For example, we can download the episodes of the series we are following and watch them on the plane without having to have an Internet connection. Until now this, which seems so basic, was not possible on HBO
We can now download HBO content to watch it without an Internet connection
At the moment the functionality of downloading HBO episodes and movies to watch them offline is only available on the platform's iOS applicationAndroid users will still have to wait a bit. As reported by company officials to Vertele, the launch of this option on Android and other media will take place in the coming days.
If you have an iPhone or iPad and have updated the HBO app to the latest version, you may already see the option to downloadYou just have to enter a chapter or movie and check if you have the “Downloadable” option at the top of the series information. If so, you will have an arrow button on each of the episodes you can download.
On the other hand, in the main menu of the application a new option called Downloaded will have appeared. It will be here where we will find the downloaded material that we can see without having to have an Internet connection.
Of course, regarding the download we must take into account some limitations. For example, HBO has included a limit of 25 downloaded videos across all devices using our account On the other hand, some titles are not available for download, even though It is fair to say that the vast majority of the catalog can be viewed offline.
