I will do all my shopping on the Mac then sit down and watch from
Apple TV.
For some content, for me, buying will work especially for series.
Spur of the moment movies could be rented.
The hardest bit will be movies or TV series that is not available.

Episodes work just like other rentals, i.e. they are just videos, in

As for the second question, rent vs buy, it is indeed subjective. I’ve rented
a few things that I felt I couldn’t value enough to “Buy” and have since
wondered whether I should have, but I’ve also bought things I wish now I’d
rented. For an ATV, the distinction is almost meaningless because you have to
download your purchases in either case, but maybe you want to download again
and watch again, in which case, it makes sense to purchase. Then there’s
iTunes; you could stream from that, or purchase from that, and maintain your
library that way, and still be able to use Home Sharing to watch on your ATV,
but at the cost of using iTunes all the time. But, really, it’s still a rental
because the videos are protected with DRM, so you can’t use anything but iTunes.
So really, the question is, do you value the content sufficiently to want to
play it again? If the answer is yes then purchase it; if the answer is no then
rent it. In no case do you own it, much as you’d like to, but you can pretend,
and come close to the right answer.
