I need some technology help When I download films on Itunes they are in M4v format. My telly plays Mp4 files. can I translate the M4v's to Mp4's with some mac based software?
Movies from the iTunes store are mostly encrypted and must be played via a device authorised with your apple store ID.
If you want to play them on your tv, plug your laptop into it with an hdmi cable or buy an apple tv box.
Sorry

Ah thanks for your help It's what I feared. I wanted to avoid any further remotes, or pinning myself to one format/supplier if the Apple tv only works with Apple products.
I have the HDMI to screen adaptor but needs to run the laptop behind the tv and requires setting up and moving.
I do see why people download this stuff, if you pay your money it's yours. My dvd collection was made by many companies but i don't need a DVD player for each individual disc.
