We rented a movie on Apple TV and it is set to expire in 1 hour. The movie is almost 3 hours long. What will happen if I start watching the movie now and we are watching it when the rental period is up?
I read somewhere that it will allow you to finish the movie in this situation. But I've also seen people say it expires while you're watching it so you cannot finish the movie. Thanks!
Apple TV (3rd generation)
I started the movie, and it did allow us to finish it. Even though there was only 1 hour left before expiring, it allowed us to finish the other 2 hours. That's very kind, thanks Apple! 🙂

Good to know.
I find the 24 hour play window a bit mean - we get 48 hours in the UK.
In the US after renting you should have 30 days to start watching but only 24 hours once you git play.
It sounds as though someone pressed play and didn't watch in until the next day.
Just try it as the clock is ticking - if you can't watch it contact iTunes store support via:

The movie is 1 hour 49 minutes. I started one hour before expiration. The movie stopped in the middle of it. That is very unfortunate that Apple has to do this. What is the harm to finish playing the movie? I certainly would like the ending of the movie.
It has nothing to do with Apple, it is the providers. It is only once you hit play that the 24/48hr countdown begins so if you are unable to view the full movie then it is best to cease playback until you have the time to do so.
What happens when the movie rental expires while you're watching it?
