If I'd paid for a UK-only download service, I'd make sure that I had what I wanted on my device before travelling.
Above all, though, I'd have made sure that I knew what it was that I was buying.

If you buy a video from Amazon and download it to your device, you are going against Amazon's Terms of Service by watching it outside of the territory it was intended to be watched in, as well as depriving the US distributor of income. I maintain that if it is wrong to do one, it is just as wrong to do the other. Either way, you paid to access it in one country, and it's against the TOS to watch it in another, so you should be paying the content provider at the new location.
To answer the last question you asked about finding out that the Netflix service is US only, it doesn't say that anywhere. What it says is:
