How to Play and Watch iTunes Movies on TV
Question: I have bought some tv series and movies from iTunes. I can watch them on my iMac and also on my iPad. The problem is we recently bought a smart tv and want to watch these programs on it. For some reason these are locked and I cannot do this. Is there a way that I can gain access to this?
Quick answer: Sure, you can do it. If you have purchased or rented videos from iTunes store, the thing becomes a bit complex. You probably don't know that most of purchased video clips and music from iTunes store are locked by Apple's FairPlay DRM protection and can't play on non-Apple devices. It means you can't play purchased iTunes contents on your TV without conversion. Then a professional iTunes to TV Converter may help you solve this problem.
