I have been using the Apple TV app on my MacBook Air for years now but recently, whenever I purchase a digital movie or TV show on iTunes, it doesn't show up on my Recently Purchased list (or in my inventory) until a couple of weeks later. I see it on my Apple TV device but not in the app on my computer.
Thoughts?
What exact model laptop is that? Identify your MacBook Air model - Apple Support
What is its version macOS?
Verify that you are (still) signed in to the TV app or iTunes application (menu Account), else your purchases will not be recognized there. Verify that the accounts match between the Apple TV box and the laptop.
Else do some generic Mac troubleshooting:
Let us know the results of these tests.

It should be instantaneous, for devices with matching accounts that are online. I can’t replicate your issue.
If you did the previously mentioned troubleshooting, and if that didn’t provide new clues, then I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/email/callback).

I am signed in. What used to take purchases a day or two to show up now takes weeks. I have logged out and back in with the same result. It's not anything critical but it is certainly annoying since I can't use the purchases on my MacBook until they show up. (I use my Apple TV 95% of the time).
