On this same topic, I have a question. If I have some DVDs that of TV shows that are not available on iTunes as of yet, should I just wait until iTunes adds them and then purchase them from the iTunes store to watch on my Apple TV? Or can I rip the DVDs into iTunes and tag them appropriately to be watched on the Apple TV? Thanks. > On Nov 27, 2014, at 1:18 AM, M.
