ATV WITH ITUNES LIBRARY FOR PURCHASES 

In iTunes there is the option to purchase movies. With the ATV being setup with an Apple ID can initiate purchases directly. Any purchased item can be viewed on ATV using two methods, either through streaming directly from the iCloud or through a local media server. Viewing through the iCloud requires a significant waiting time (5 to 8 hours) depending on the internet speed at your home. This waiting time is required anytime you want to watch the movie even if it is not the first time. This is due to the non-permanent memory (Flash) where the data is cleared after usage. However, with a little bit of planning, one may purchase the movie and initiate loading it in the morning to watch it at night. However, with the option to view through a local media server, the hurdle of waiting time can be avoided for second time watching as the media once downloaded to the local media server it can be viewed multiple times and streamed through the local network.

But to initiate purchases for video content one must have an Apple ID that has US Funds. In AcuZon, we offer setting up an account for you and we inject it with the amount of funds you request in voucher base system. We also re-inject voucher funds based on your request. For local network streaming setup, please refer to (USES OF ATV IN LOCAL NETWORK) section.

For this option to function smoothly we required you to have an Internet speed that is not less than 4Mbits (faster speed is always recommended).

ATV WITH ITUNES LIBRARY FOR RENTS

iTunes library also carry a rent option over ATV. This requires an Apple ID that has US Funds as well. However, for rented content, once charged to the account and loaded in the ATV, it stays available for 30 days to initiate a view. Once a view is initiated you have 48 hours to watch the content no matter how many times you do so. Also, to load and view the Rented content, a specific network medium is required. The waiting time would be similar to the waiting time for a purchased item (5 to 7 hours depending on your internet speed). In AcuZon, we offer you the network setup along with AcuZon’s Data Highway that enables you to load and view the rented content.

For this option to function smoothly we required you to have an Internet speed that is not less than 4Mbits (faster speed is always recommended).

ATV WITH ON-DEMAND SERVICES

There are two popular channels on ATV (Netflix & Hulu) that offer On-Demand content. On-Demand content is basically a library of video that you can immediately watch whenever a view request is initiated for any item as long as you have a subscription. This option requires the network medium mentioned in (ATV WITH ITUNES LIBRARY FOR RENTS) section. In AcuZon, we offer you the Network Data Highway explained earlier as well as the subscription to these two channels.

For this option to function smoothly we required you to have an Internet speed that is not less than 4Mbits (faster speed is always recommended).

MULTIPLE ATVs IN ONE HOME

With Apple’s Eco-System, you have the option to play content on multiple ATVs in a unique way. Consider that you have ATVs in your Cinema Room, your Kitchen and in your Living Room. You can start watching a movie in your Cinema Room, then stop it to go make a coffee in your Kitchen when you can Resume watching the movie while you do so, then stop it and Resume watching the rest while setting in the Living Room with the rest of the family. To have that sort of setup, in AcuZon we offer you multiple ATVs with configuration to run this feature along with the training on how to use it.
