My Apple TV is new and so far have only watched movies from Natflix with it. A couple of days ago I ordered a movie thru iTunes on my MBP and it downloaded to it. Since I have Home Sharing on it also showed up in my Movie icon on the Apple TV. I did not try to watch the movie that day tho. Last night I purchased another movie from iTunes but bought it from the Apple TV. It showed up on my Movie icon in Apple TV almost immediately ready to watch and I did. Had no problems at all throughout the movie.
But tonight I get ready to watch the movie I first purchased and downloaded on my MBP. When I hit play to watch, it tells me it will take 48 minutes to download. Did I do something wrong? I don't see why purchasing a movie within the Apple TV made the movie ready to play instantly and downloading one to my MBP first is causing such a delay. They are connected to the same network, have t he same Apple ID and Home Sharing is on. Both movies showed up in the movie icon on Apple TV, both looked ready to play.
