Bought movie on Apple TV, won't download onto mac

I recently bought the movie "The Internship" on my Apple TV and went to download it on my mac, but it says I have to buy it again. I also tried to check available downloads and it is not showing up there either. Does anyone have a solution?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Hi remjob27,


If you purchased the movie on your Apple TV, you should be able to redownload it on your Mac, so long as the two are using the same Apple ID/iTunes Store account. On the other hand, if the movie was instead rented on the Apple TV, it is not transferable. You may find the following article helpful:
