IF you already had the movies on the Patriot. The problem is getting stuff from the iPad to the Patriot, from the Patriot to the iPad works fine.

Once you download the movie to the drive you can view from your phone or tablet.

Yes, definitely. It produces it's own wireless signal to stream. We have no problem connecting 4 devices on a 16 hour drive.

Absolutely! That's why I purchased it. It connects using WiFi and it has a great battery so you could use it on an airplane for hours.

All I can say, B.R., is that ours is streaming beautifully via our home WiFi network so, I don't see why not. Via USB stick...it plays .mp4s perfectly. I haven't tried any of the other formats. The wife and I are very happy with it. :-)

As long as the device sees and can connect it should not matter if its a cell router or home, speed and bandwidth would be a factor and be careful as streaming sucks up a ton of data and you may go over your plan.

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably. I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem. I hope this helps Harold

If this device will not provide high quality images from my laptop to my older (but wide screen) TV, what device would you recommend? I would like to play movies and stream video from my laptop through my TV. Thanks!!!

I didn't make it that far, honestly. I found the device a little less convenient than advertised. I imagine that if it was working properly that it would technically stream anything and everything from your device.

It doesn't have internet service. 2 no.3no. I purchased it to play music and movies, and it does that good. Great quality playback screen. Plays virtually any format.j

Disk playback works just fine without an Internet connection. I use mine that way most of the time, but the streaming video features that this player also offers, such as Netflix, will require an Internet connection. The disk player detects, through its HDMI connection, if the TV set has been turned off and it will turn itself off. It will also eventually turn itself off if it is not being used, but mine has never turned itself off while I was watching a DVD movie.

While i had mine I didn't use for movies. But to my understanding Netflix will not work. It was an awesome tablet otherwise. Hope this helped.

If you have Netflix you can stream movies. Another way is to use the desktop to download then transfer it to a micro SD to watch. Works great on video.

Absolutely, this is a great device for movies. If you subscribe to Netflix or hulu or something like that you can stream shows. You can also dowwnload them or copy them from you desktop or laptop to watch when you don't have a good WiFi connection.

It does support the steam app.... Only games that don't check for Internet connection can be played offline.... Emulators and stuff like that can be played offline.... Same with the streaming from computer as long as your computer is connected to your router

I have streamed video from Amazon as a Prime member. It was free and worked well. It was a long time ago, so I don't remember the details. Right now I'm using Netflix and the kindle fire to video stream to a large TV with an HDMI cable which works great.
