EPIX will allow offline viewing of content later this month on multiple mobile platforms

Media streamers and cord cutters face some issues here and there when it comes to consuming movies and TV shows. The big ones can be attributed to constantly monitoring their data consumption to avoid overage on their wireless bill or home internet. Another issue is being some where that data is to slow or non-existent. As streaming and digital content continues to grow, so must the providers of the content. Recently Amazon announced that they were launching the ability for consumers to save movies and TV Shows for offline viewing, now Epix is following suit sometime this month.

“The EPIX goal has always been to provide our subscribers with next level enhancements, elevating how they can access content across devices,” said Mark Greenberg, EPIX President and CEO. “By creating a network first, true TV Everywhere experience, consumers can now download a movie from our library and watch it anywhere, anytime, even without a Wi-Fi connection – while waiting at the airport, traveling by train, commuting to work, or even on a camping trip. Consumers now have guaranteed content mobility.”

The move will make the big franchise movies available at anytime. You can look forward to having the complete Hunger Games series, James Bond and Star Trek. Not to mention original documentaries, music events and comedy shows. The ability will come through the mobile app and will be available across Kindle Fire, Apple and Android devices.

We will be on the lookout for the app update, and their marketing campaign that is to ensue as well, and let you know when we see it go live.
