Hi @Marmaduke

Thank you for reaching out to the Bell Community.

You can currently download up to ten shows or movies per account.

Which iOS version do you have installed on your iPad and how much storage is remaining? Are you having trouble downloading content on any other device?

If you don’t have enough space to download content, you can try:

Deleting older downloads or other files that are on your device.
Reduce the download quality within the app settings.

For a step by step on deleting downloads check out: How to delete downloads in the Fibe TV app

Let us know if you have any more questions.

I am running into the same problem. Bell customer service has been unable to resolve it. It has nothing to do with the device or the software on the device or how much space is available. No one in our house is able to download on demand titles even though we have none downloaded. There is clearly a glitch in the Fibe TV app that Bell needs to fix.

I am only able to download one 45 minute program, then it tells me I have no more room and I need to delete downloads. This is very frustrating as I can easily download 8 or 10 episodes from AppleTV programs - it’s a bell Fibe problem only it needs to be fixed.

Good Day & Welcome to the Bell Community Forum.

With Download and Go, you can use the Fibe TV App to download subscription on-demand shows and movies to your mobile phone or tablet and watch them offline, without being connected to Wi-Fi or a mobile network.

You must be subscribed to the channel to be able to download its content (e.g., a Crave subscription is required to download Crave content).
This feature is compatible with Apple (iOS 12+) or Android (OS 7+) smartphones and tablets.

These are the download parameters when using Download and Go:

You can download up to 10 shows or movies per account.
Rented and Own with Bell titles are not downloadable.
The same content can be downloaded on multiple devices.
Downloads expire between 48 hours to 30 days after downloading. You will be notified how much time you have left to enjoy your download in the app.
You can re-download content once it expires, as long it’s still available in the On Demand section of the app.
You can only download shows while you’re in Canada. Select programming needs to be downloaded while you’re at home and connected to your Bell Wi-Fi. Once downloaded, you can watch the shows offline from anywhere.
If you don’t have enough space to download content, you can:
- Delete older downloads or other files on your device.
- Download to an external SD card (Android only).
- Reduce the download quality within the app settings.
