Good Wife s.3 ep.6 won't play on Apple TV 1

I downloaded The Good Wife season 3 edpisode 6. It plays fine on the Mac, and on an Apple TV 2. But attempting to play it on an Apple TV 1 results in 'Authorising' with the spinning cursor, followed by 'not authorised on this device'. All my other shows just play; they don't even need to get authorised. I get the same problem whether I stream it from iTunes, or sync it to the Apple TV itself.

Any ideas why ATV1 needs to authorise this show, but not any other show?

Content needs authorising on the Apple TV too you probably just don't see it when it takes place.

Have you tried de/re authorising your computer.

Yes, it does need to be authorised. But the device itself needs to be authorised, like your computer is. And the device is definitely authorised, because it plays other content purchased with this account. In the past, only rentals needed to be authorised individually - purchases did not.

Indeed de-authorising and re-authorising my computer resolved the problem. Thanks
