I'm sure by now you've found the wait to be definitely worth it. Just as I did!

So have you transferred it already? If not, move on! I also have a friend who has the same problem as yours.

Wish I had known about these problems before wasting so much time trying all the things already mentioned! Spent several hours trying to figure it out to no avail. Gave up and went to the appletv to rent it directly from there. When I chose the movie it said "You have already rented this movie, are you sure you want to rent it again? Duh! I cancelled and tried to transfer it again no go. Like a fool, I ordered the rental the second time and now I await a "6 hour" download!!!! Pay per view is a hell of a lot faster to say the least. I love my mac and a lot of things about apple tv but the movie downloads suck!
Time is money and I could have purchased this movie 10 times or more. Go figure.
Just letting off steam I guess.....

First off, let me say, this made me laugh hard enough to read it aloud to my girlfriend who doesn't care at all. Even she laughed. This is exactly the problem I have had and exactly the steps I used to troubleshot, and exactly that order, to which I found the same information. Too bad really, it is definitely a flaw that I am willing to bet they are not going to fix but instead change.
anyway, bravo on this blog, it was great. "any self respecting nerd would do"

Have a HP 8710W Notebook in the house with HDMI out - copied the movie to a 4GB USB drive - imported it into iTunes on the HP - it picked it up as a rented movie... Lovely! No go ;) now is the test of the DRM - dying to see if it expires on my PC. Both PC's use the same iTunes account - blegh!

I live in South Africa and it took 6 good hours to download over our limited 1024 ADSL connection. Guess what? No movie on our Apple TV either! Google brought me here - thanks for the walkthrough - I was not feeling like fussing with this right now! Seems we'll have to wait for next week. Please update us if there is any new developments.

Todd,

I feel your pain. My wife and I also rented Superbad just last night with the intent of watching it on the AppleTV. No luck. Bad job on Apple's part. I'm going to see if I can get a refund now.

Just wish Apple had said something before I pissed away the money on the rental. The help docs say 100% that you can do what I am trying to do -- without the need for the AppleTV upgrade.
