    No, as long as the movie is still held in the iTunes Store you can stream it directly to your Apple TV. That said the rights holders can remove any content from the iTunes Store without notice (Disney for one have done this from time to time) so I would recommend that you make offline backups of your purchases just in case. External drives are relatively cheap these days.
