I discovered something this weekend as I was watching the HD version of The Matrix Reloaded, something I had not seen published before. It’s possible to control titles rented from Apple TV with the Remote.app. All though the rented title does not show up under Movies, once you start playing the rented movie, controls for Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, and Rewind appear as if it was a purchased title.

On a side note, The Matrix Reloaded is one of the best encoded HD movies I’ve seen on the Apple TV. If your looking for a movie to show off to your friends, keep The Matrix Reloaded in mind.
