The Complete Guide to iTunes Movie Rentals, Part 1 (Updated) | iLounge Article
So on Saturday I finally got around to seeing Batman Begins - thought I better see it before The Dark Knight. I rented it via my Apple TV in HD and it all worked seamlessly - until my viewing caught up with the buffer and then everything stopped - and then I was caught in stop-go hell.
The only thing left to do was let the rest of the movie download and then watch it another time - within the 48 hour period. Here’s where my beef is. The rest of my weekend is busy and I don’t really have the opportunity to sit down and watch the rest of the movie at home. What I would love to do is watch the rest of the film on my iPod Touch on the hour long journey to work.
But I can’t do that. HD movies can only be watched via Apple TV, and movies rented on Apple TV can only be watched on Apple TV. Surely in this multidevice world we’re now living in I should be able to watch my rented film however I want whenever I want? Yeah I know about DRM and all that - but c’mon surely there has to be a way.
Apple TV is great, but Apple really needs to look at closing this loop so people can have maximum flexibility in how they watch their media.
