Why cant I watch the moveis stored on my Apple TV or stream?

I have 2 Apple TVs connected to a single HP PC running Windows Vista. One of the Apple TVs is connected wirelessly and the other is connectedd directly via the 4 port hub on the back of the wireless router (Cisco). I have the PC Connected to an HP Media Server throught the hub where I store all of my video, music etc... The problem I am having is two fold... First even when iTunes shows my Apple TVs are connected to iTunes I can not view movies in my iTunes library via streaming. I do not have a problm getting iTunes to show the Apple TVs as connected in iTunes. My second problem is that the Apple TVs show that they have for example 25GB of video content when i view them in iTunes, but there may only be 4 movies available to view from the Apple TV. Anyone else had things like thi happen to them? Im also having an issue where iTunes itsself will not contact the iTunes store to get available downloads as shown on the iTunes store screen...it always says the iTunes store is temporarily unavailabale...unless I want to buy stuff and those always work. I really like the Apple TV interface but if I cant get these problems figured out its totally not worth keeping them. Any help with these problems would be very much appreciated.

I don't think I fully understand what you are describing as problems. However, some movies that are downloaded directly to the Apple TV can't be moved or viewed on a PC. There are a lot of movies in the iTunes Store that are only available through the Apple TV (i.e. can't be viewed or moved to the PC).
Also, what version of iTunes are you using and what version of the Apple TV software are you using? Some of the ways in which content is listed in iTunes changed with the v3.0 release of Apple TV.

  • Why cant i watch the TV episode?

    So, i've just downloaded a TV series and I cant play them as they have gone onto icloud...but when i tried icloud-ing them over...its saying i cant do so for another 90 days! Why did it go onto icloud in the first place and why do i have to wait 90 days?!

    Because your phone is already associated with another Apple ID for iTunes in the Cloud.  When you download a previous purchase, enable automatic downloads or turn on iTunes Match on your device, it becomes associated with the iTunes ID you are signed in with at the time.  Once that happens, the device cannot be associated with a different ID for 90 days.  What probably happened is you associated your device with a different ID than the ID you used to purchase this TV series.  After doing this, you can't switch to this ID for 90 days (more details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627).

  • HT5731 Why cant I watch the episode I've purchased?

    I've used iTunes to download an episode I missed. It's saying that I've purchased it but will only let me watch 30 seconds mid way through? What am I doing wrong?

    You don't watch videos in iTunes.
    iTunes on iOS devices is a link to the store to purchase media only.
    Video downloaded to the iPad are in the video app.

    Hello
    Welcome to the club.
    The response seems to be simple.
    Those who wrote the Help are not those who wrote the PDF User's Guide which are not those who coded the application.
    As on this forum you will met only users trying to help other users, no one would be able to tell you if what we got is a bug or a design flaw.
    Like many of us,
    *Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu*, describe what you wish: a way to define the default format used as Automatic date/time.
    Then, cross your fingers, and wait for iWork'09
