    PC movies to Apple TV?

    If I buy movies from iTunes to a PC, can I stream them to Apple TV?

    You can only stream content from pc to atv if your atv is jailbroken. Once you jailbreak you can install XBMC and this will allow you access any media on your pc.

    Wrong. You can stream any iTunes compatible media to the atv without jailbreaking.

    The rest of your post is correct though.

    I'm presuming the op is asking if he can stream content without the restrictions that iTunes imposes. Such as his own avi and divx files that might not have been bought in iTunes. Can you specify op?

    Did you not read the op? He said "if I BUY movies from iTunes..."
