Why is the apple tv movie rental list so awful?

Seriously, there's nothing good. There are bad movies from 1992 in the top 25.
Am I doing something wrong?

UK. I hired two movies from my rental store today because there's nothing decent on apple.
Candyman 2 is the film of the week!
Aliens vs Predator is in the top 25!
This ***** so bad it's painful.
those stats are generated by user purchases/rental.
the available movies are dictated by the movie studios. complain to them if you are not happy with the movies available to you.
whether a movie is available for rent or not is a movie studio decision.
however not sure where you are looking as there are currently a lot of new releases available on the front page.

  • Why is Apple TV movie rentals to expensive?  I love my Apple TV, but I can go down the street and get 4 Movies for the price of one rental on Apple TV. Apple should reduce the price of movies rentals to $1.00

    Forgive me if my solution to your problem is oversimplistic, but if the movies are too expensive for you, don't buy them.

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

  • Why should the Apple TV download movies its its not authorized to play ?

    Why should the Apple TV download movies its its not authorized to play ? If the Apple TV is not authorized, how come the itunes store still goes ahead to download anyway ?

    You need to be a bit more specific here.
    Surely you're not suggesting iTunes or AppleTv are downloading things you've not purchased and therefore not entitled to play.
    If it's something you've bought then there may be an authorisation issue with iTunes, AppleTv which could be due to a glitch (reboot AppleTV) or local/distant network issues.

  • Why is the formatting in my Contact list screwed up?

    Why is the formatting in my Contacts list screwed up?  The State in the address list is missing and "Netherlands" is added to all of my US addresses. This occurs after I sync in iTunes, but the Contact is listed normally in Outlook.

    I am using Apple Mail.  For some reason it is working right again. Who knows why!
    Thank you for taking the time to reply to me.  Even though you didn't sollve my problem, I appreciate the effort!

  • Why did the Apple 'genius' tell my my bulging battery was normal?

    Why did the Apple 'genius' tell my my bulging battery was normal

    The battery has a cycle count of 101 and is listed in good condition and @ 2 years old.  The 'genius' said it was 'normal' and NOT defective.  And was probably because I left it plugged in most of the time.
    I remined him how the lithium ion battery and its associated charging system are supposed to be very sophisticated and are reported to not overcharge the battery and to extend its life. I also cited where I had read that the swelling usually occurrs when a battery does not ventilate properly,
    I asked him why the five other Apple laptops I owned for years never had that 'normal' condition.
    I pretty much got the dumb deer-in-the headlights stare.

  • Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears?

    Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears? 

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    Largely due to an overloaded server.   Keep trying, every two hours or so.   I suppose it's all down to when Apple staff turn up for work.     Be patient  
    I have read that it is pretty much restricted to Mountain Lion.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

    Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

    Are you speaking of manually moving these files, or using an application to export?
    When you use the the term "export", it usually entails an application performing some kind of file conversion, rather than a simple transfer. It is during conversion to another file format that information may be lost through lossy compression, or by settings of the export.
    Anytime you convert a file to another format, there will usually be some loss or degradation. Tghis can't be helped, as one format may not support every information characteristic the original one did.

  • Why does the Apple store carry  iKlear cleaning solution in stores?

    I noticed that the manual with my MacBook Pro just recommends dampening the cloth with water in order to clean the screen. Then why does the Apple store and website promote iKlear cleaning solution for the screen (rhetorical question) ? Is this product safe or not for cleaning the screen? Thanks.

    They carry it because they're a store, and like any store, anything that boost the margins is great to have on the shelf. It's the same reason any store sells really expensive accessories.
    I've always used water as the manual recommends. But iKlear is safe and I'm not necessarily against it. It may be good for unusual or stubborn stains that water can't dissolve. But for everyday cleaning, the question is whether you would prefer to clean your screen for free, or by paying for an expensive chemical.
    I've never bought a screen protector for my iPhone either, and it's been totally fine.

  • Why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

    I live in Canada, why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

    Because this is what Apple decided to do.
    We have no way of knowing why Apple makes the decisions that they do and speculating is a violation of the terms of use of this forum.
