Hi bobtribotti,
If you are trying to transfer a rented movie in iTunes and you have an original (1st Generation) Apple TV, you may find the following article helpful:
Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
- Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
- Click the Movies button.
- Select the movie, and then click Move.
- After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.

If you have a more recent (2nd or 3rd Generation) Apple TV, you may want to consider renting the movie directly to the Apple TV:
