I thought it would be something simple like that, and I'm sure this isn't the first time you've had to tell someone. Sorry.You cannot download purchased videos on our Apple app.
Dont worry so much Matt. It's fine. It's just that I don't think anyone ever broached the subject before. It's all good my friend.I thought it would be something simple like that, and I'm sure this isn't the first time you've had to tell someone. Sorry.
Thanks for such a fast response,
Matt

Thank you artsunlimited, that was very nice of you.You can purchase Dr. Blake Mysteries - A Family Portrait in HD for only $2.99 through Amazon - which means it will not only download in much better resolution than Apple's 360p, but is actually less than your average rental cost. As with Apple+, it's Episode 9 in the Season 5 lineup, which is misleading as it was a special longer-length stand-alone special and really wasn't part of that season.
I rented it from Prime about a year and a half(?) ago and had no problem downloading it. in 1080p.
It is refreshing when I read a thread like this from 2 great members. Matt and you have been great members and I appreciate both of you. Thank you artsunlimited for helping.Aw, thanks - I've received so much generous help on this forum in the past that I figure I have a lot to pay forward.
I just feel really bad for @Matt West because it looks like he already purchased the episode on Apple+ and then couldn't download it. I dunno if Apple+ will refund purchases if you haven't watched the video, but Amazon definitely will. (Ditto for rentals.)

Thanks RedFox. Fortunately there's still a few of us out there that remember what courtesy and decency is aboutIt is refreshing when I read a thread like this from 2 great members. Matt and you have been great members and I appreciate both of you. Thank you artsunlimited for helping.
If you own that software go for it. I am happy you have an alternative.Thanks
Believe me, I did check Amazon first but from what I could see, and find with a Google search, Apple TV+ is the only place that has it now. I can order the DVD from Australia...for $33 (and we all know what software will help me watch it ), but that's all.
You know you are an important member, as are all of the members. If I could help you I would my friend. Please believe that.Thanks RedFox. Fortunately there's still a few of us out there that remember what courtesy and decency is about
I swear that if only 10% of companies responded as fast as you guys do, with so much help, the world would be a much better placeIf you own that software go for it. I am happy you have an alternative.
Believe me, I know. You guys have always gone above and beyond. I truly do appreciate itYou know you are an important member, as are all of the members. If I could help you I would my friend. Please believe that.

Can you watch it in a browser?
Hehhehheh, I can watch all the D+ extras for the Marvel films in my browser, and AS can't download them. To be fair, no one else can, either. Honestly, why is Apple+ so nasty about content that you've actually purchased?My favourite question to ask if someone has trouble downloading:
Ah Ha! Found it Thanks a million! I can't believe I missed that one.Nooo, send it back!!! This is one of the instances where Google is not your friend, and it really annoys the hell out of me. Like you, I've learned to go directly to Amazon Prime Video and search within the site for what I want, so I'm kind of baffled it didn't show up for you - unless you aren't in the US?
As you can see, it's available (at least in the US) under the Season 5 lineup, next to last episode. Naturally, it's not included in my BritBox subscription because of course it isn't.

BTW, don't be put off by that "Family Portrait Part 2" bit underneath it - there is no Part 2. Family Portrait was a standalone movie-length (1 hour 49 minute) series finale after S5 was completed (imdb lists it as S6E1) and is the last episode in which Dr. Blake appears. And as it was released in 2017, there's no way any "Part 2" dropped in 2014.
After that, December Media, which produced the series, got the rights for a 6th season and came out with a sequel series called The Blake Mysteries, which takes place three years after Family Portrait. But because Craig McLachlan (who played Blake) had been accused of sexual harassment, they first suspended production and then dropped him from the series altogether as he was undergoing litigation (he was subsequently cleared of that charge). You'll find the 2 episodes of The Blake Mysteries are available with a BritBox subscription on Prime. (They should offer you a free trial, so at least there's one thing that won't cost you!) My apologies if you already know all this.
artsunlimited27 has been a respected member here for a long time. We appreciate all the help. Thank you. I am very happy you made Matt happy.Ah Ha! Found it Thanks a million! I can't believe I missed that one.
My wife has really gotten into this show and, while she was flicking through our Plex menu, she noticed one was missing. She wasn't overly impressed when I said it was missing. This will make her happy, and lest we forget: happy wife = happy life!
The RF forums are a great place for help. Again, thank you artsunlimited27!
