How do I watch a rented movie on Apple TV
I rented a movie. Began to watch and had to stop. 15 minutes later, I went back to watch but cannot find rented movie.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

How do I watch a rented movie on my ipad2?
Beware. I downloaded a rented movie then took the ipad to a destination where I knew I would not have internet access. Attempting to play the movie the first time was notified an internet connection was required. Very frustrating.

how do i watch a rented movie on itunes? where do i go?
If you rented it on your iPad then you can only watch it on that iPad - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
As to why it's like that, I don't know, I haven't seen anything that says why -

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

How do I find my rented move on my new Apple TV?
This thread is from over a year ago. Also, that only applies if you rented via your computer. Hence the 'computers' icon. It is accessing your computers iTunes library via home sharing, not the cloud. Rentals made on other devices can only be viewed on that device.

How can i watch a rented movie in my apple tv?
I rented a movie in iTunes and want to watch it in my apple TV. I try to "drag" the movie to the apple TV under Devices, and can't seem to do it. When I go to my shared movies in apple TV the rental is not there. Does anyone know what I need to do?
I assume you are using the Apple TV 1 (silver/grey).
The rental needs to be transferred to the Apple TV. It sounds as though you have paired a secondary (streaming only) library only and you need a primary library to transfer content. -
i have rented a couple of movies for my daughter to watch on the plane, but i cannot view them unless it's through the itunes app on my phone. I cannot use any apps without service and i don't get any service in the air without wi-fi. Is there another way i can watch them or have i missed or skipped a step in syncing the movies to my iphone from itunes???
Somebody help me please

Yes you can do that provided you rent it from iTunes on your mac/PC and not on the Apple TV. -
