I rented 3 episodes of a TV Show on my iPhone but it says can't play this type of file?

I paid for the rental, it was downloaded on an iPhone, yet when I go to play it it tells me "Cant play this type of file".
So confused - why did it allow the download, but can't play it? I have an iPhone 3G - anyone have a similar problem (or know a solution?)

First off, which nano? The 6th doesn't do video, and while I've never tried a TV show or movie, I have loaded some short video podcasts, which will play the audio, but not the video.
I'd look through the different tabs in iTunes to see if there is a checkbox that turns on the ability to use video on your 5th or earlier Nano, if that's what you have. Lastly, did you buy the show from the iTunes store, or somewhere else?
