Did you check if they are already on your computer/you have the "Not on this Computer" tab checked?

Looks like all my stuff is there. Downloading Rome seasons 1 & 2 which were eaten by the great AppleTV meltdown a while back.

I think the vast majority of people who have ethics don't use torrents for content. I still want a match for video, though. I'm sure their encoding is better than anything handbrake can produce.
Good for a casual need, but not really useful if is not going to substitute the need for a back-up.
Putting tv content on your itunes would be awesome, but i think putting them to your iPod itself would take up a lot of space. Unless of course you have a 160 GB

Great news... we still need to be able to connect straight to an external HDD for the content that iTunes no longer offers.

Only about 2/3 Of my purchased shows show up right now. Still nice to see it developing.
I bought all 6 seasons of "it's always sunny in Philadelphia" on iTunes and they're not showing up in my purchases section of my iTunes app on my iPhone. Anyone else have this issue or explanation? Will they be added later? I needs my sunny!!!

I agree. However, there's also the side of me that says: If the studio wants to be a bunch of retards and not provide their content through netflix/hulu, then what other option is there? I'll pay for whatever content I can pay for, but I'm not going to be at the mercy of some studio.
Now put the dual core A5 and 1080p output, we we are talking!, for $99 it is darn good.
I am going to get one once Apple TV goes A5 😀
anyone knows CSI available for streaming? I have few seasons...
may be Apple adding these TV shows one by one?
or is it some Studio restrictions which is blocking the TV show streaming?

It appears they are still in the process of populating it. Over the years I bought very much on iTunes and I also miss random single episodes in otherwise completely available seasons, miss entire shows that I bought and it also appears that the newest episodes of currently running shows are not available. For instance I bought the entire Fringe Season 3 which has 22 episodes but can only see the first 18 episodes in iCloude.
Since the majority of people siphon their gas out of other people's cars or don't pay for concert tickets but find a way to smuggle themselves in, ... sorry what was your point?
Interesting. In iTunes I see all 22 episodes. Although on my AppleTV2 I see the show listed, but clicking on it results in ATV2 throwing an iTunes connection error every time. I'm missing 4 episodes from Community season 2. Also noticed that iTunes still can't get the episodes ordered properly. Season 2 of Fringe and Season 3 both have mistakes, which for a show like Fringe is terrible.
I've been reading Macrumors since a little before the announcement of the original iPad (although I've only recently become a poster in forums) and I will say that this is the best news I've read on this site! I've been wanting this for a long time!
On another note all my purchased content seems to be there. However at first I noticed season 9 of Friends wasn't there, but later it was; so it seems the list is still being populated. I have these shows and they are all there:
Friends-Seasons 1-10
The Office-Seasons 1-7
South Park-Season 14
Mythbusters-Seasons 4-6
One History Special
Parks and Recreation Seasons 1-3

You sir are the reason for the thing you seem to dislike: DRM! If it weren't for you and every other media pirate that STEALS their content there would be no DRM. We constantly say that we want film and television content producers to embrace the modern era and give us digital control of our content, and the reason why they are very reluctant to do so...is you. You and all the other thieving pirates!

I like to keep my ATV2 up to date so I upgraded but apart from Vimeo (not yet sure what that is) no meaningful update for UK users. Get your finger out Apple - I bought this device on release & still the US gets all the goodies. It is only half a product.

I agree. Prison Break and 24 are missing entirely so far. I also bought all Breaking Bad seasons and can only see the preview episode of season 3 which was free anyway.
Anyone else missing stuff?
I'm missing several episodes of Glee. I was saturating to think that there was some kind of time restriction since the season just ended, but then Gigat mentioned missing things, too.
When I first discovered the tv shows option, I only had 9 items available to re-download. I restarted iTunes and there we're like 11 or 13 items available (total). So, this made me think that the servers must be busy or some program enabling all the TV Shows for this feature hadn't gotten around to Glee yet.
Can anyone else provide input? My iPad button was having problems recently and I exchanged it for free but at the price of the episodes I had dl'd directly on iPad (couldn't sync b/c I still have a PowerPC Mac at home). I really want my $16 of Glee episodes back!

It's not available in Canada yet. Still good news though because it means its coming. We just need movies now.
He probably lives outside of US. In which case, piracy has nothing to do with it. How about US TV makers release their shows at the same time as in America or within a few days, not the months or even years some Europeans wait. And when they do arrive, how about fair pricing relative to the US? Not 20-30% more, or double in some places.
I'm sure the people which "illegally" download television in Europe would love to pay and give these TV broadcasters their money; unfortunately, due to these horrible delays which have persisted for years, it doesn't seem like they want our money. If they're not going to do anything about the horrendous licensing agreement delays or bad pricing then how about they hush up, since it's them causing the television-related piracy.
I hope this comes to the UK soon, my biggest problem at the moment computer-wise is where to store all my TV shows, have 250GB plus but recently switched to MBA 256 GB. HAd to go to external drive but it's inconvenient and I've got some stuff that I'd deleted off my last computer. This would be amazing!!!!!
