May 17, 2016 3:58 AM in response to icedaniby Vinceassociate,Assuming your movies and tv shows are in iTunes and your network (ethernet or wifi) is available where you setup you Apple TV and at your computer, yes you can watch them on the TV connected directly to the Apple TV.
The computer would need to be on with iTunes running while watching the shows because they remain on the computer and are just streamed to the ATV as you watch them.
This particular feature on the ATV is called Home Shraring: Use Home Sharing to share iTunes content with other devices - Apple Support
In fact if your network is wifi, you can try this out using your iPhone by setting up sharing between it and the computer as outlined in the article.
