I've always sort of wondered this... iTunes U has some great video and audio stuff, and I've been able to stream it through iTunes just like a podcast, but I was wondering whether you can get into iTunes U on your Apple TV for streaming and download or if you have to download everything to your computer and transfer it. Anybody with a no-hacked Apple TV Take 2 out there able to find this out? Thanks.
I tried to access itunes U from Apple 2 but had no luck. Even a search for such podcasts (like MIT's Open Courseware) did not yield any results. As far as I can tell, itunes U is not directly accessible from Apple TV. I certainly hope a future update would address this.
I know this is a little late, but I use this as a workaround - change the kind of media from 'iTunesU' to 'TV Show' (or Podcast) - it is immediately available to view on Apple TV. I then change it back after I watch it.
