I'm sure this has been answered before, but a search didn't pull up any results. If I buy/rent movies & TV shows on the apple TV, will they sync with my iphone? I just assumed this would be the case, but in doing some apple tv research, I came across a posting somewhere from a guy who was unable to move some of his content from the apple tv to his itunes/ipod. Is this a restriction that you can't move HD movie rentals over to to itunes/ ipod, or can you not move any content in that direction, or did this guy just have something set up wrong.

Thanks

You can't move rented content from Apple TV to iTunes.
You can move from iTunes to Apple TV.

You cannot get content that you rented on the Apple TV on to your iPod.

Note that Parky referred only to rented content. Content purchased on AppleTV is automatically synced back to iTunes.

Tooki,

Thanks for the clarification. Although it was clearly listed, I did miss the rental thing. That makes a lot of sense.
