space and make downloading faster,
head to Settings > Apple TV > iTunes
Videos > Purchases and Rentals and
select Standard Definition quality.Rent or buy on iPad
Everything you’ve previously
bought or rented on your Mac, iPad,
iPhone or Apple TV should be available

logged in to iTunes with the same Apple
ID. We’re about to download Hala here.Manage downloads

downloaded to your iPhone at Apple

downloads from their specific apps.)More deletion

MANAGE TV STORAGE ON MAC
Remove Apple TV downloads automatically
One drawback of downloading Apple TV app content on Mac is that you can very
quickly fill up the available space. To ensure that doesn’t happen, head to Apple
> About This Mac and click the Storage tab, then Manage. In the window that
appears you’ll see four options: Store in iCloud, Optimize Storage, Empty Bin
Automatically, and Reduce Clutter. In the Optimize Storage section, click the
Optimize button, then Optimize again in the pop–up window. Now any Apple TV
downloads on your Mac will automatically be deleted once you’ve watched them.HOW TO Manage downloads on iOS
