Tap 'Settings' and then make sure 'Download over mobile networks' is switched on. If you can't see this option, make sure the app is up to date. <br />  </li> <li><strong>Can I download a whole series at once?</strong><br /> No, episodes of a programme can be downloaded individually.<br />  </li> <li><strong>Can I download programmes when I'm outside the UK?</strong><br /> No, but if you download programmes in the UK before you leave, they should play when you're overseas. Please note that if the app updates itself after you've downloaded programmes, you need to open the app before you leave the UK, otherwise downloads may not play for you when you're away. <br />  </li> <li><strong>Can I change what order my programmes download in? </strong><br /> Programmes will download one at a time in the order they're added to the queue. If you're using iOS, you can change the order of your downloads in the queue by selecting the Edit option and dragging the programmes into your preferred order. Tap Done to save your changes. <br />  </li> <li><strong>How long will it take to download a programme? </strong><br /> Download time depends on the speed of the connection and the size of the programme. As a very rough guide, it shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes to download a 30-minute programme. <br />  </li> <li><strong>Can I change the video quality of my downloads? </strong><br /> Yes, you can choose to download programmes in Standard Quality or Higher Quality. Standard Quality programmes are produced at 800kbps and Higher Quality programmes are produced at 1500kbps. <br /><br /> To toggle between Standard Quality and Higher Quality for downloads, tap <strong>Settings </strong>and then toggle the <strong>Higher Quality Downloads</strong> option.
