Does STARZ come with a DVR?
No. STARZ does not come with an included DVR, because it is a completely on-demand streaming service with no live TV streaming options. That means any content you want to watch is available only on-demand.
However, if you order STARZ through live TV services like Philo, Sling TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu + Live TV, you'll have access to cloud DVR options that let you record STARZ content and other live TV programming.
Does STARZ allow offline viewing?
Yes, you can download show episodes and movies to watch offline on the STARZ app for Apple and Android devices.
There currently doesn’t seem to be a limit on the number of downloads you can have at one time, so you can download as many episodes or movies as you want. Any downloads you have will be automatically deleted after 2 weeks or immediately if the title’s licensing window ends before those 2 weeks are up.
