You could also get your tv shows and movies with audio description, but in audio format only, from blindmicemegamall.com 
First, register at the website. Then, go to the bottom of the screen and do shift U twice until you hear blind mice movie vault. Enter on this. 
The one major rule with the movie vault is to never do a quick download. This would open you to viruses. If you get the window with a quick download, exit the window and try again. 
To download a movie, click on its name, which will bring up a new window. Do a control F and search for click here to start. Press that. Then do a alt N, and download as you normally groom would. 

But how do you get them on your iPad? Make sure you have Dropbox on both the computer to which you downloaded the movies and your iPad. Put the movies you want on your iPad in Dropbox on the computer and let them upload. 
If you don't have Voice dream reader, now is the time to get it. Once you have it, go down to the Add button. Choose Dropvox and choose the movie you want on your iPad. This will begin uploading the file to your voice dream reader, which will take what seems like forever but is actually about ten minutes. 
With all these steps, the end result will be movies in audio format with descriptions on your iPad. When you want to listen to one, just go into voice dream reader and double tap on the one you want. 

Hope this has been informative and helpful. It is the method I use for it the movies I can find in the movie vault. You can also download tv show episodes from the movie vault in a similar way.

>> Unfortunately, you cannot get many free tv shows or movies for download.
>> As you probably know, there are several free online streaming music services such as pandora, spotify, and rhapsody, but not for tv shows to view later.
>> Many networks have options to stream currently played shows,  but not for download. PBS has an archive of their popular shows and documentaries, but you have to stream them while online, not while off line.
>> A free option might be for someone to DVR some shows for you and you might be able to somehow download them for later viewing.
>> Another idea is youtube has clips of shows. I do not know how to do it, but you can download these shows as mp4 format. Then you can transfer them from your computer to a storage device such as a USB drive to plug into the ipad.

>> If you can afford to purchase shows or movies, there are some options.
>> First, you can buy shows and movies from itunes.
>> These are saved on your device once downloaded and purchased. So viewing off line is an option.

>> Second, I believe amazon has a way to buy movies as well.
>> Not sure if that is doable right on the ipad, but you can definitely do it from a computer, and transfer them to the ipad.

>> Hi all,
>> Please forgive me if this isn't where I'm supposed to post this. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how I might go about downloading free TV shows or movies to the iPad to be able to watch them on trips? My iPad does not have a data package so I use the Wi-Fi at my house but would like to be able to watch the downloading movies on the iPad without having to use any type of Internet connection. Is there a way to transfer movies from my computer to the iPad and if so how do I go about doing that?
>> Thanks
