    Your location is not really relevant.

     

    If you have poor internet or LAN connectivity that is the likely cause not your location.

     

    I assume you know you can rent/buy in iTunes on a computer, then have iTunes running on the computer with Home Sharing enabled on AppleTv and iTunes, then you can access your Purchases or Rentals under COmputers icon (Rentals must fully download first).

    The AppleTV1 had some advantages, but I think the trend in the industry generally is towards streaming only devices so to stay competitive Apple dropped the price and removed internal storage.

     

    It would be nice to have an option for internal or USB storage but it's unlikely to happen.
