Can I Watch Bass U TV Offline

Is there a way to download seminars so we can watch them while not in cell or wi-fi coverage?

No, at the moment, this form of digital rights management for subscription video content is only available to the top-tier companies (Netflix, Amazon, etc.). Allowing video to be downloaded is straightforward enough, but there's a distinction between content that can be downloaded and viewed while your subscription is active and content that can be kept forever. We're always keeping an eye out for solutions to these types of issues, but, at the moment, be aware that this is fairly cutting edge. If I'm not mistaken it's been in beta for less than a year on Netflix, and it's still a limited library of content that can be downloaded to view offline.

Thanks for contacting us. Downloading copyrighted member-only content still presents many problems for smaller developers. Being able to download videos would not allow users to keep them permanently. Most of the technology required for downloadable videos is in encoding the content such that it's explicitly unusable outside the app and outside of an active subscription. That being said, those encoded HD files will take a lot of space on user's devices. Devices with 32GB of storage are still commonly sold and an hour of HD video could easily use a reasonable % of that. While we still have this as a top priority, the ever-changing landscape of mobile app platforms and frameworks makes it a priority to firstly maintain a stable and functional app. When those goals are achieved, we dedicate as much time as possible into researching new features. That being said, we invested a great deal of time into this feature in November of last year. That particular avenue did not yield a final solution for the end-user, but it gave us a fresh perspective of the challenges and a deeper understanding of what would be involved to make this available and cost-effective for the end-user.
