Hello, Cali03.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

The best way to watch an iTunes Movie Rental via an Apple TV would be to look in the top shelf of the main menu for this movie. At this time, you can’t stream a rented movie from your computer to your Apple TV using AirPlay because it’s DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected content.
