Can't delete purchased film from Apple TV Wish List

I actual figured out what was causing it.

I had my upstairs apple TV loged in and my downstairs apple TV loged in.

When I bought something downstairs it would disappear from the wishlist for a moment until the server asked all the devices logged in was there anything too add to my wishlist .. at which point the upstiars machine would send it all the items already purchased to add to the list.

Once I logged the upstairs machine out I was able to use the method described in an earleir post where I log in on a PC and hide the items I've purchased in itunes then go to the appletv and remove them from my wishlist.

However they all reappear as soon as I log the upstairs machine back on.

Am I suppesed to download them all and use home sharing to get them to all the appleTVs in the house?

Sadly, none of these suggestions worked for me - anybody else find a way to get rid of the purchased wishlist movies?

Having the same issue with occlude how to fix it.it has been happening ever since I first bought this thing earlier this year...

I have this problem too. I discovered this morning that if you select the item in the wish list and hold down the play button, it starts to wiggle like icons on the iphone when you hold them down.... But then what? It's like you might be ablt to move or delete the movie but I can't figure out what combination of buttons to press!

Ok I might have answered my own question. I am using my TV remote paired to the appleTV because the apple remote went through the washing machine :( I think you have to press the centre select button to get options but I can't try that. Attempting with the remote app hasn't worked for me yet either.

John's Answer worked for me as well...

while applying his fix I found another reason this would happen...

if the movies you purchased from the apple TV were bought as part of a collection, something isn't triggered in the purchase process on Apple's side to know to remove those items from the wish list.

I had the most recent 007 movie in my queue, bought the whole collection for the one price and forever had the latest 007 sitting in my wish list until I just attempted to fix it.

Another collection I had was the despicable me 2 movie, which I ended up buying the collection... it too needed John's fix.

Thanks,

Will

Johns soluiton works ... also just make purchase from the Wish List and it will not be on the wish list.

I think this latest version update to the Apple TV 3rd generation may have done the trick.

Version 6.1 released early March 2014.

All of the sudden I can remove my purchased movies from my wish list.

I installed the update a couple of days ago.

Not sure if this will last, or if this is a glitch of some sort.

It used to be that when I clicked on a movie on my wish list, if I owned it, there would be a play button, but not a remove option. Today I noticed the remove was available on 5-6 movies I had purchased.

I deleted a bunch of my purchased movies from my wishlist when I noticed I could remove them, but I don't know if a play button was still there. I will have to leave a movie on my playlist and check the next time if there is a play button and a remove button.

OS 6.1 now adds remove to every item even if purchased (on separate device).
