I wanted to download a few rentals for a plane flight. Do I need to be connected to the internet at the time I start watching the rented iTunes movie? I know it was required when rentals first came out..wondering if it changed..thanks

Any ideas?

this article says you don't have to be on the internet
Renting From Apple's iTunes Store - All About Renting Apple's iTunes

and an apple article from mid-2009 only mentions connectivity to transfer from iTunes to a device (iPod, iPhone).

Yeah I wish I could tell for sure..I searched Apple's tech site and there is no mention of the need to be connected to start watching.
