I rented movie on apple tv can I watch it on macbook pro?

I rented a movie on Apple Tv and now I want to finish watching it on my MacBook Pro- I can not find it to watch. Shouldnt I be able to watch it from any of my devices??

No.
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.

No option to "return to rented movie" - screen only says "go to Settings, find Downloads, then Download" or something similar.
***? I went to Settings and there is NO Downloads option. Anywhere!
I think Apple is losing it. FIrst my iPhone 4S, which I was tricked into loading the new operating system which is HORRIBLE. Am now looking at moving back to Android. And now Apple TV seems screwed up. Jesus, is this the end?

If you rent it on your Apple TV then that is the only place that you can watch it - from the HT1657 page that you posted from :

Why it's like that I don't know, I don't think that Apple have said.

I would like to rent a movie from iTunes on one of my apple tv's and would like to know if I can watch that movie rental on another apple tv on the same network. I used to rent movies on my Mac and was able to watch on different apple tv through home-sharing.

How can I watch an Apple rented movie via Apple TV?

Continue to have a freezing problem with rented movies from Apple. It *****.

What I ended up doing was to back all the out of the choice sequence and the start the movie from the beginning again. We were able to watch one hour of the movie and then it froze again. After repeated efforts to get it to continue, we gave up and went to bed.
For the recoded, the Internet connection was fine. Netflix worked flawlessly. Only the Apple movie connection was dead.
How do I get my rental money back? I won't be able to finish watching within the required 24 hour period after having started it last night...
I thought this problem would go away after having the FIOS service installed. A 10+ Mgb speed stream should feed a movie in jig time. It's certainly helped with download times on software and Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo streaming. Not Apple, which seems not to know how to buffer.
Frustrated,
Mark

Problem renting movies with Apple TV

Having a problem renting movies using Apple TV with Comcast cable and Netgear gigabit wireless router. After selecting a movie to rent and clicking "rent" a message appears: "Accessing iTunes Store", after some delay a second message appears stating an inability to connect to iTunes store, try again later. This issue is intermittent. At any given time a movie can be rented and streamed, but more than 50% of the time, the rental fails.

We're not really sure as yet - there certainly seem to be no comments on subtitling as a feature.

I got the same error and can't get it to work. My email and home address have not changed in the 3 years I've been using this device, my credit card info is up to date and my most recent rental was 2 days ago yet I get the error message on both the Apple TV and in iTunes. I don't understand what the issue is, nothing is invalid.

Why does it take over 2 hours to download a rented movie on apple tv? When I download a movie on Netflix it downloads immediately.

Why does it take over 2 hours to download a rented movie on Apple TV? When I download a movie from Netfix it is immediate.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netflix uses adaptive streaming and can reduce quality right down to produce a stream as low as 0.5 Mbps.
