Netflix on iPad/AppleTV

[Lippy65]

Got the toys. Now I need to learn how to use them properly.
Have both AppleTV and iPad 3G. If I join Netflix:
1) does it matter which devise I download a movie to? Can I pull it off of either with equal ease?
2) Same question if I buy a movie from iTunes, will I have access from either device?
Thanks

Netflix only works with iPad, not the AppleTV. Although, you can use your Netflix account to stream to a browser (I believe you need flash support in the browser), a Nintendo Wii, and other devices. But the AppleTV does not have a browser nor the Netflix app. You don't download the movie from Netflix, but stream it.

On the iTunes front, whichever device (AppleTV, iPad, computer, etc.) you buy the movie/tv show on will have to sync to your iTunes library before you can sync the movie to another device. They don't automatically share purchases - you have to use iTunes to sync and move the purchases between devices, for now.

1) AppleTV does not support Netflix
2) You can sync your iTunes movies to both devices

Makes sense. Thanks for the education.
