I have not tried any movies from iTunes but why not rent them from
Netflix for $9.99 a month total for any and all movies you want to
watch. They have a 1 month free trial for new subscribers. I have
watched quite a few movies on my ipad this way with no problems what so
ever.

I'm using the home Wi-Fi (btw, I have the Verizon 64 3G version) and had no problem trying out a couple of free TV shows. (Seriously, how wonderful is that episode with Mr. Rogers and Koko the Gorilla?! :-)

I keep getting "Download error. Tap to retry." I then tried to download a different movie, and the same thing. No matter where in the house I go, it ain't happenin'! I am all too happy to rent a movie for $4.99, and Apple should be making a fair amount of money off me now that I own this marvelous piece of magic... BUT... I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, if anything. Why can't I download movies successfully?!
