But you will find that you can not play iTunes movies on TV. Because iTunes movies are encrypted by DRM protection, it won’t allow you to play iTunes movies on non-apple devices. Don’t worry. This article will tell you how to remove DRM from iTunes movies and show you 3 easy ways to play iTunes movies on TV.

How to watch iTunes movies, TV shows and music videos on Android tablets/phones? Here are 2 ways:

Method 1. Watch iTunes movies on Apple TV.

What you need:

Apple TV

$250

When you buy a movie from iTunes it is automatically stored in iCloud so you can access it from any device, including your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. So you’ll save much efforts on syncing iTunes movies to TV if you have an Apple TV on hand.

1. Open the TV app, either from the Home screen or by pressing the Home button on the Apple TV.

2. Select a movie from Up Next to continue watching it immediately. Alternatively, scroll down to What to Watch or one of the other TV and movie sections.

3.Click on your chosen show or movie. Click the Play button.

Method 2. Stream iTunes movies to HDTV via HDMI cable

What you need:

Apple's Digital AV Adapter
HDMI cable
TV with HDMI cable

Cost:

$60-$100

Apple's Digital AV Adapter is perhaps the easiest and most straight-forward way to hook your iPad up to your HDTV. This adapter allows you to connect an HDMI cable from your iPad to your TV. This cable will send the video out to your TV, which means any app that supports video out will show up in 1080p "HD" quality. And like Apple TV, the Digital AV Adapter supports Display Mirroring, so even apps that don't support video out will show up on your television set.

You can also stream your movie collection from you PC to your iPad to your HDTV using Home Sharing. But it does not work with the original iPad, iPad 2 or iPad 3. You will need to buy a Digital AV Adapter with a 30-pin connector for these older iPad models. This makes an AirPlay solution like Apple TV even better for these models.
