Apple TV at the Movies

   The marquee feature of the Apple TV is watching movies and TV shows. In
   this chapter, I begin by showing you how to control video playback,
   purchase movies and TV shows from Apple's iTunes Store, access your
   purchases from iCloud, and view videos stored on your computer.

   Of course, you're not limited to iTunes content. In addition to
   streaming video from Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO, and more, you can rip your
   DVD and Blu-ray discs for playback on the Apple TV. I show you not only
   how to rip the discs, but also how to add cover art and metadata, and
   [4]Offload Movies to Another Disk. I also point out a few great iOS
   [5]AirPlay Apps for Video.

Control Video Playback

   To watch a movie, TV show, or other video content, navigate to a video
   app, such as Movies, TV Shows, or PBS, and select the video. No matter
   how you view a video, the playback controls are identical: to begin,
   press Play.
