More frightening than a crime thriller, these two words can strike fear into the hearts of TV fans: "No Service!"
It can happen to bored kids in the backseat of your car, or to a business traveler as the plane reaches takeoff speed. Heck, it can happen in that one really annoying corner of your own home.
Thankfully, CBS All Access has a solution that allows TV fans a new way to take shows with them on mobile devices. Using the Download & Play feature, Commercial Free subscribers can just tap a download icon to store up to 25 episodes or movies offline—enough to get you through just about any road trip or long weekend.
