Hi Surfendog,


We understand you'd like to download movies from the iTunes Store. We're happy to help.


To download a movie file directly to your device after you have purchased it, you just need to click on the cloud icon next to the item in your library. You can find more info on downloading movies here: Buy movies and TV shows from the Apple TV app


If you're using a computer and would like to change where you have the files stored, you can use these steps:


  1. In iTunes choose Edit > Preferences > Advanced.
  2. Select Change, then choose the location you'd like to store your files.


Change where iTunes files are stored on PC


We hope this helps. Cheers!
