Thanks Daniel
Do I still need a separate cable for the sound or does this do sound and
video?

Re: Movies on iTunes

Hi Rod

There are a few ones to do it.
You can get an HDMI to DVI cable, or if you already have an HDMI to HDMI
then Belkin make a really nice adapter:-
<http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=418646>
Sells for about $29.
Otherwise the cables can sell for anywhere from $40 through to $400+

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

or use the dvi to vga adaptor, most newer plasma/lcd screen  
have a vga connection, works fine for me during video editing /large  
screen viewing, you can buy 5m vga male to female cable in most  
electronic shops like altronics or jaycar

Yes but it would require a video capable iPod

Or you can use DVI to S-video adapter plug.  I use one for my eyeTV  
(of course it helps if your computer is in the same room as a TV).

Check your updates on the Apple TV.   You will need to run the update  
for the movies to appear.

Even their own support document for Australia and New Zealand says 48  
hours.  Might be worth a few of us sending Apple a feedback sheet  
highlighting that rentals here should be 48 hours.

I'm guessing you'd need Apple TV to get it to your TV.

Once you start playing you have 24 hours to watch it, after which

have 30 days to watch it.




48 hours with Australian rentals :-)  At least we get something extra

Hi Stephen

> So how does that work Rod ?
You first need to purchase a rental or are Movie. Rentals do not start
to expire Into you play them for the first time


> Does it download to your Mac or do you stream it while watching ?
Yes it downloads to your Mac. It does not matter if it is rental or
not the only difference is the rental expires after a certain amount
of time

Which it is then deleted from your computer
