I'm a little bit confused here.
I thought, even when you purchased a movie, if you do it from the mac, or
from the IPhone/IPad, then, yes. It will actually download, but I thought
the whole idea of the Apple TV was, it would actually simply stream the
content from your library, if you buy it with the Ajpple TV. Am I wrong?

Subject: Re: Buying vs Purchasing Content
Episodes work just like other rentals, i.e. they are just videos, in
themselves, and can be rented separately, or not, as you want.
As for the second question, rent vs buy, it is indeed subjective. I’ve
rented a few things that I felt I couldn’t value enough to “Buy” and have
since wondered whether I should have, but I’ve also bought things I wish now
I’d rented. For an ATV, the distinction is almost meaningless because you
have to download your purchases in either case, but maybe you want to
download again and watch again, in which case, it makes sense to purchase.
Then there’s iTunes; you could stream from that, or purchase from that, and
maintain your library that way, and still be able to use Home Sharing to
watch on your ATV, but at the cost of using iTunes all the time. But,
really, it’s still a rental because the videos are protected with DRM, so
you can’t use anything but iTunes.
So really, the question is, do you value the content sufficiently to want to
play it again? If the answer is yes then purchase it; if the answer is no
then rent it. In no case do you own it, much as you’d like to, but you can
pretend, and come close to the right answer.
