Downloadable rented movies

Since Samsung has put a halt to the TouchWiz update, I have to work with stock Honeycomb for the time being. As far as I know, there is no way to rent and download movies with stock Honeycomb 3.1. Is that correct? If not, please let me know how because I assume I have to wait for the TouchWiz update to provide that. Thanks.
 
I thought the movie rentals were part of the market update not touchwiz. Have you checked the market for the movies tab? If you don't see it at first, try turning your tab completely off and on.

There are 2 separate things, there's media hub, then there's movie rental through the Android Market. I have the LTE tab, and it came with the movie rental in the market (but we haven't gotten TW yet), not sure about the Wifi though.
 
I haven't tried it, but I definitely have the option for it on my LTE Tab 10.1. I'll try it when I get home. I think the LTE tab got some updates the Wifi didn't get til Touchwiz- for example, the browser lag was fixed on the LTE tab, too.
 
I have the Wifi-only version. This is my 2nd SGT 10.1. My 1st SGT 10.1 got the TouchWiz update, which loaded Samsung MediaHub and updated the Android Market, both of which have the ability to download rented movies. Perhaps there is a way to get the updated Android Market while I wait for the TouchWiz update. Does anyone have a link to the apk?
 
You could also rent movies from Amazon. I've rented a couple from there and it worked very well. Probably a better selection as well.
 
I think that you can download them from the market, but it's the original Android movie app that didn't work on the Tab. I could be mistaken though.
