HT1498 sd movies on apple tv

Why can't I rent SD movies on my Apple TV?

My TiVo HD box has a life-time subscription (transferred from an older analog Series 2) and recording shows is incredibly easy with its interface, so I will still use that for recording TV shows.
My main interest now is looking at downloadable movies. I just read a review of Vudu on Crave. That sounds like it is a strong competitor of Apple TV in terms of movie quality. Also the rentals are cheaper with a bigger library. Crave will do a head-to-head comparison of Vudu to the software-upgraded ATV soon. I think I'll hold off on my decision until this settles out more.

  • HT1498 Rented movie on apple tv will not play

    Rented movie on apple tv.  Does not show up in rental section.  Try to rent again and it says it has been rented and I should go to settings and click download.  There is no download.  Closest thing is to check for rentals  under itunes but it just sits there and spins for over an hour

    After about three hours it finally showed up under rentals.  Just a terrible way to rent a movie!!!

    It depends on how the java code is gnerated. If for example months are given with fixed array .... then it will only be english
    But then agin you have the source code (.java files) open all java files in the oracle.forms froject and alter to your language then recompile and reacreate the jar (easily done with Jdeveloper)

  • HT1498 When renting a movie for Apple TV the movie stopped several times interrupting play. Can anyone explain why that might happen?

    WE rented our first movie using Apple TV and at the beginning of the movie it stopped several times and we had to manually restart it. Any suggestions as to how to prevent this?

    What is your actual connection speed (speedtest.net)?
    Are you on wifi? If so have you checked for interference using istumbler or netstumbler or tried Ethernet?
    Are you using your ISPs DNS?

    Suspect it's playing in Dolby Digital 5.1 - go to settings for audio/video and turn Dolby Digital to off.

  • HT1498 I rented a movie on apple TV 1st generation and it will not download

    I rented a movie from apple TV, normally it downloads immediately, but for some reason tonight it will not start.  I check interent connection via speedtest and it was 8.0Mbps.  I also purchased a movie to see if that would get it going and still nothing.  Its as if the store is letting me buy it, but not allowing me to download it. 
    I have gone to the download section in settings.  After logging in it says I have nothing to download. 
    I went back to the store attempted to purchase again, a message said I already purchased it, go to seeting\download to select it.
    Apple TV Gen 1
    Software version 3.02

    Reboot your system, then check for availalbe downloads again.

    I started downloading a rental movie on apple tv, but I live in a rural area with terrible Internet download speed...is there anyway to stop the download, and resume downloading, onto my iPad when I have access in an urban setting with high speed Internet?

    Yes, to be honest I was a little surprised myself. But it absolutely didn't connect when plugged into the test socket (I even tried to force a connection from the Home Hub manager but it wasn't having it). It is definitely the master socket. The only extension is a small piece of (engineer installed) phone cable to link the hub and the master socket (because the socket and mains power are unhelpfully on opposite walls of the hallway).
    I ran the Java download for Google anyway and it only took about an hour. The speedtester results are as follows:
     Download speed achieved during the test was - 109 Kbps
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-250 Kbps.
     Additional Information:
     Your DSL Connection Rate :2560 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
     IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps
    I don't as a rule disconnect / reboot the hub; today it has been dropping off on its own, while several days ago I tried a few reboots just to try and get a connection.
    Additional info - my exchange is actually called Claypole Fenton (or vice versa). Whatever, my profile has probably been welded to 135k for days and days.
    Cheers

  • HT1498 How do I re-rent a movie from Apple TV.  I watched a portion of a movie, the 24 hours has elapsed and I am trying to re-rent to finish movie.  I so not have the option to rent again.  Any suggestons?

    rHow do I re-rent a movie on Apple TV?  I rented a movie and could not finish it within 24 hours.  I am trying to re-rent it and am not given that option.  Any suggestion?

    It should only give you a warning, but let you do it if you want to.  If you can't do it on ATV you can rent it though iTunes and then check for available content on ATV and view it that way.

  • HT1657 Can you tell me the step by step procedure for renting a movie on Apple TV and playing it there only?

    What are the exact steps for watching a movie on Apple TV? The Apple TV tells me to go to the desktop and accept the fee in my account. Then I start the movie on the desktop and then I go to the TV to watch it. I get charged twice!
