"Good morning, I bought an iTunes movie from the iTunes store and planned to play it on my Sharp Android TV, but I was just told that my Android TV can't read these resources. What should I do to sync and play iTunes contents on Android TV?”

Why can’t we directly stream TV shows on Android TV?

Android TVs, including Vizio Smart TV, Panasonic Viera Smart TV, Sony Smart TV, Samsung Smart TV and Sharp TV, are excellent devices that integrate streaming video, listening to music and playing games. However, if you plan to play iTunes videos on the Android TV mentioned above, then you are out of luck. Apple uses DRM technology in iTunes movies to protect copyrights. These protected contents can only be played on authorized devices, so you can't directly stream iTunes movies to Android TV.
