ATV not synching to iTunes

I have purchased a bunch of TV shows on the iTunes store with my ATV. Its full now and I would like to get them off of the ATV and into my iTunes so that I can put them on my external hard drive. For some reason I cannot get any shows onto my iTunes. Anyone know a secret to get them to synch?

first of all, you need to make sure that the appletv is linked to itunes with syncing privileges (both ways)... is it ?

if yes, then try de-authorising and then re-authorising the appletv, then restart the appletv is necessary.

Could you explain how to verify that the ATV is linked to iTunes with syncing privileges (both ways). My ATV does appear in iTunes under devices and for the past few days tries and fails to sink showing the progress bar (as a blue barber pole and never changing to the solid blue progress bar). It continues to do this, for as long as I've let it without adding any new contents to the ATV menu. It worked fine before.
Also, how do I then if necessary, de-authorise and then re-authorise ATV.
Thank you
