I watched my first apple tv rental and now i want to rewatch it. There is no where in the menu's to rewatch the movie when I select the same movie is says to rent it again is $6.99, it is still in the 48hrs, How do I do this please!
Depends where you live.
US has 24 hour view/rewatch periods once you press play.
Some other places including UK have 48 hours.

When viewing the main menu of the Apple TV, where it shows Movies, Internet, Computers, Settings, if you move the selection to be on one of the items under Movies you should see the movie above where it says Movies. You can use the remote to move above the Movies items.
Are you not seeing the movie there?
I've managed to sort it out!, There was no movie showing that it was already rented, I tried to re-rent the movie, it told me I had already rented the movie and to go to setting and search itunes for rentals, once i'd did this and went back to the movies screen the rental was shown with 24hrs to go! Thanks for the response!
I have as yet not rented a movie, brand new ATV joining in the update fiasco!
I note that you have successfully watched a downloaded movie.
Did you stream it direct or download it to iTunes and watch it at your convenience?
My broadband connection isn't the fastest, so I would prefer to download it.
Any tip to prevent to prevent "This film has been authorised to play on another device" or somesuch would be appreciated.
Here in Ireland, I think I have 48 hours to watch it again, and quite an appreciable length of time for the initial viewing.
Thank you,
Tom
I streamed it direct, my broadband is only 2.5Mb/sec, the movie was supposedly HD(I'm a liitle dubious) there was only about 20 seconds wait at the start before it began and then it was away without any buffering for the complete movie. I just streamed it again for the second time I watched it! Not sure how to download it etc. But there are a few other discussions about the questions you asked above. Good Luck!
