itunes movie rental quick question

If I rent a movie on itunes and transfer it to my ipad when does the timer start counting down on the rental? Once I start watching it? When I transfer it? When I download it?

Anyone ever rented a movie on there? Seems like a fair price for a plane ride eh?

There is a 30 day timer that starts ticking down as soon as you download it. Once you start watching the movie, you have 24 hours before it expires. Moving the movie to my iPhone doesn’t start the 24 hour timer.

I think it’s a fair rental price, I rented one the last time I flew too :slight_smile:

Cool thanks!

Taking a short notice trip tonight and dont have time (and am tired of frankly) to rip a couple of DVDs to the thing.
