Netflix may launch 'offline mode' by the end of this year
Netflix look set to launch "offline mode" before the end of the year.
At present, the streaming service only allows viewers consume content whilst connected to the Internet.
But we could soon have the option to "save" shows and films to devices.
Insiders expect offline mode will be limited to original Netflix series such as House of Cards.
At the end of 2014, Netflix’s director of technology said that offline playback is “never going to happen” as it would only be a “short term fix for a bigger problem". The comments were thought to be predicated on the belief that high-quality broadband would soon be widely available in all Netflix territories.
Earlier this year, CEO Reed Hastings told TechRadar the company "should keep an open mind on" allowing viewers to see at least some content offline.
