Why can't I install my movie I paid for on my apple tv anymore ?

It use to give me the option to save it directly to the device but now it doesn't give me this option after an update a while ago I forget what update did it. And it even deleted the movies I already downloaded. I'm talking about movies I paid for. Movies I paid for on the apple store that's only reason why I got an apple tv with alot of storage other wise its just a waste. My internet isn't great its slow so I want to save them to watch them later with out having to buffer them. I will not buy another one ever if i can't save my movies to it.

The storage on Apple TV is for system software, apps, preferences, caches. Not for content. It was only different for the now obsolete original 2007 model. All subsequent models need the network for streaming input. I’m afraid that there is a mismatch between your memory of procedures and how the Apple TV box works now. Downloads (local media files) are only supported on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
