A:

Apple TV 4 doesn't download movies and store them locally, but you will be able to stream on demand.

SO you mean even if I'm using Apple TV to see a movie it will stream not download?
sometimes there's less load on internet at home so I prefer to download and watch later
that can't be done ?

You can download to a computer running iTunes, then use Home Sharing to play it using ATV.

You can download your purchases to a computer, and then stream them from there to the Apple TV 4. Streaming is the normal method of delivery whether from your local network or the Internet. On board storage is used for apps and their data, not for media.
