Hi,

I'm not sure why it's doing this, nor can I confirm very easily right now.  
We're in the middle of a Harry Potter marathon.  Just starting The Order of the 
Phoenix tonight and they're all purchased through iTunes.  I'll need to watch 
something else all the way through that is ripped and on my computer to 
confirm.  All that aside, I have some suggestions.  If you know that the title 
has been watched, go to your Mac, into iTunes, or the TV app, VO-shift-m on the 
title to bring up the Contextual menu, then select "Mark As Watched".  This 
will change it on your Apple TV as well.  I did some reading and, supposedly, 
this is possible on the Apple TV itself by long pressing the Select button, 
that's the trackpad thing on the Siri remote.  After long pressing, a menu is 
supposed to appear where you can choose to mark it as watched.  I couldn't make 
it work with VO though, and my wife and daughter are out right now so can't 
verify if that works without VO.  I did read from about five years ago people 
having this problem, but haven't found any similar posts lately.  You'd think 
that if it was happening five years ago that Apple would have fixed it by now.  
Maybe not I guess.

Well, enough rambling.  Sorry for the long post without a real solution.  I'll 
let you know if I figure anything else out.

Later...

Many believe that we have been visited
in the past. What if it were true?
