TS3623 Playing a rented movie through Apple TV

When I rent a movie, while playing it does not span the entire TV screen. Black bands appear on the right and left sides. Please help
I have currently rented a movie which is in standard definition

You would need to refer to your tv manual as each model is slightly different.
Apple TV simply displays the content natively and that is what is recommended. If you want to stretch the image you need to do so manually.

  • I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2

    My Problem:
    I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2
    and get the following message   "an error occurred loading this content. Try again later"
    Do others have the same problem of not being able to play rented HD?
    All my other activities are normal. I can play Standard Def rentals, Movie Previews, HD MLB, and all else as necessary except HD rentals
    I have a 13.5 Mbps connection.
    I have gone through ALL of the expected procedures. Changed the cable, did a reset, did a restore.
    This has happened with two TV2's as I replaced the first one due to the "unable to update issues"
    The current TV2 now has the current up to date software since that issue has been resolved for all.
    Any answers???
    Location Melbourne Australia.

    This is a new TV2. Actually my second. First bought less than 2 weeks ago. it was returned to the store and replaced because of the issue of not being able to update the TV2 software from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2.
    Both machines had that same problem, and both could not play the rented HD movies.
    The second TV2 has sicne been able to update to 4.2.2 when everyone else who had that problem went away this last weekend. So I have gone from 4.1.1 on two machines and no HD rentals to the current one updated to 4.2.2 and still no HD rentals.
    The Standard def comes in fine and no real delay. And IF the movie previews are HD (when it is turned on in settings) then I have had NO problems viewing them.
    I also have NO problem viewing HD MLB games on the TV2

  • When I try to play a rented movie on Apple TV, it starts downloading again

    WWhen I try to play a rented movie on Apple TV, it starts downloading again.

    There is no accessible storage on Apple TV, so it will need to load each time. If you wish to store then rent on computer and use home sharing to view on Apple TV.

  • HT1657 can I play a rented movie on an Apple TV 2nd gen while downloading?

    Can I play a rented movie from itunes on an Apple TV 2 while the movie is still downloading? I can watch it on the Mac that it is downloading on but the air play symbol does not appear to be apple to select the ATV. Does the movie have to completely download first?

    'Make sure your iTunes is up to date 10.5 at the top where the tabs are turn on "Home Sharing" by enabling it on your MACBookPro under the advanced tab using your Apple ID and PW  then turn on your AppleTV and on the far right side click on "Computers" repeat turning on "Home Sharing" on there then start your movie and click on the AirPlay Icon then select send to AppleTV! There are a few other more ways to do the same thing but thats the easiest let me Know if you need more info .

  • HT1349 when you rent a movie through apple tv should i be able to get it on my mac and iPad to through itunes

    when you rent a movie through apple tv should i be able to get it on my mac and iPad2 through itunes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, if you rent a movie on anything other than your computer it can only be watched on that device. If you want to watch it on multiple devices, rent it on the computer then it can be transferred between devices, but can't be moved to more than one device at a time.

  • 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!!!

  • HT4428 No aduio when playing renting movies on Apple TV 2 gen

    No aduio when renting movies on Apple TV 2 gen, Previews have sound but once purchased (rented) no sound. I have Sony WEGA 3LCD about 6 years old.

    The limitation of approximately 200 titles has been discussed before, we can't be sure whether it will be something that gets fixed or not. I'm not really sure what your other issues are, if I use search instead of lists, I find whatever I want and am able to rent or purchase subject to those options being available for that particular title.

  • HT1498 Trouble watching rented movie on Apple TV

    I have rented movies through my laptop several times and transferred them to my Apple TV to watch them.  However, I rented one the other day and after I transferred it and pulled it up to play it, I got the message that I wasn't authorized to do so.  However, the other movies I've rented I can play without a problem.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I am having the same problem. Rented a movie tonight. Downloaded it to my ipad but when I try to airplay it to my Apple TV, I'm only getting sound. I have checked my Apple TV is updated, I restarted it and unplugged it for 30 seconds. On my Apple TV I checked itunes for rentals and it says there is nothing there. The only thing I have not tried is restarting my ipad. It's an ipad 2 btw. If I get it sorted out, I'll let ya know how.
