Apple TV Purchases

10+ years ago I purchased a ton of television shows, Scooby Doo, Downton Abbey, etc as well as movies while living in the US. We now live in New Zealand and would like to access these shows and movies, but I do not think we can constantly switch between the US vs NZ versions of the platform. How can we get the shows back?

Apple media services are available to you in your home country. When you emigrate, you may lose access to content from the former country. When you move back to the US and change your account billing address accordingly, then your US purchases will appear again.

There may be exceptions and workarounds, but emigration and regional content distribution rights are at odds with each other, without real solution.
