“Sometimes I notice that a lot of trending movies are available on iTunes store but not available on TV. However, my family enjoy watching movies on our Sharp TV set more than on personal mobile devices. We want to share with each other and connect to each other more during watching movies together. So, is there any method to play iTunes movies on TV? I’d love to know if you can show me how to stream my iTunes movies to TV.”

To answer your question, let me briefly explain why we can’t directly transfer iTunes M4V videos to USB and then insert our USB to the TV for watching iTunes M4V on TV? There are two types of M4V files, one is DRM-free M4V and the other is DRM M4V, with the major difference lying in DRM protection. If you download a DRM-free M4V from iTunes store, then lucky you. It is almost the same with MP4 and can be compatible to many devices including TV. In this case, you can directly transfer iTunes videos to USB and then to your TV for watching. However, if you download a DRM M4V video from iTunes store, you probably need to remove DRM first and then convert the file to MP4 for playing iTunes movies on TV. Previously, we have talked how to play iTunes movies on Hisense smart TV.
