Apple TV and previous iTunes Store videos

Years ago (2010), I purchased several movies from the iTunes Store. If I sign up for a new Apple TV subscription, will these videos be available to watch again on Apple TV?


I can still view these videos on my iPad and iPhone using the Apple TV app. I want to view these previously purchased videos on my big screen TV the same way I would watch shows like Ted Lasso on Apple TV…

MacBook Pro, OS X 10.11

Hi there Joeswell,


You would be able to access purchased movies on an Apple TV device that has your Apple ID signed in, as long as those are still available in the iTunes Store. Check out the steps below which show you how to navigate and find purchased movies:

Find and watch iTunes movies and TV shows
1. Open iTunes Movies  or TV Shows  on Apple TV.
2. In the menu bar, navigate to any of the following categories:
* Purchased: See the movies you’ve purchased on the iTunes Store, including purchases made on other iOS or iPadOS devices and purchases by Family Sharing members. 
* Top Movies or Top TV Shows: Browse the top items in the iTunes Store. 
* Wish List/Favorites: Find items you’ve added to your Wish List (Movies) or Favorites (TV shows) but haven’t yet purchased or rented. 
* Genres: Browse by genre. 
* Recommended: Find recommendations based on your previous purchases. 
* Search: Enter a search term to find movies or TV shows. 
3. Select an item to see ratings, descriptions, and purchase or rental information.

That information is from this article: Watch iTunes movies and TV shows on Apple TV - Apple Support


We hope that helps.


Take care!
