Do you know why Apple removes movies from rentals? I had no idea that they were doing that.

Thanks,

Aren’t they simply being converted to HD?

…Or maybe not… :-(

Whatever they’re doing, it’s really, really confusing (annoying)…

Shahrum,

We’re just as frustrated as you are. There is no rhyme nor reason for how titles get added or removed from the iTunes Store. Every time we think we’ve unlocked the secret method to their madness, we get foiled again!

I tell my ATVjunkie partner in crime that the people in the movie department at the iTunes Store must have movie titles pinned to a dartboard with two darts they throw at it. One to add movies to the list and another to remove them.

You have our word… We will continue to search for the truth. The Truth Is Out There, Trust No One… Except for us!

I know you’re joking here, but still I’m a bit disappointed… ATVJ is inferring that Apple (the iTunes Store) is calling the shots in what, when and how to post movie titles. AFAIK, Apple has been granted a license to transact, nothing more. The particular content is controlled by the owner of the license (the studio). In fact, my recent interaction with Apple about a missing episode in The X-Files, Season 1, pretty much says that Apple can only report and question, but cannot take action without instructions from the licensor.

Think about it this way… The only way this scenario is not completely insane, is if the entity making the decisions is attempting to satisfy a plethora of distribution channels — which the content providers in fact do have… So their actions, although thoughtless to the consumer, probably fill some overall contractual need.

So, IMO, it would be helpful if ATVJ were to refrain from adding any more fuel to this erroneous fire… :-)
