Android TV is a smart TV platform created by Google. It offers an interactive television experience for users to play music, games, enjoy videos and download apps from Google Play. And it supports Google cast, voice search etc., so you can cast videos from Chrome browser and find contents quickly and answer your queries.
After its launch, Google has partnered with many third-party media device manufacturers like Sony, NVIDIA, Xiaomi to integrate the Android TV platform in TVs or media players. Some of the well-known devices powered by Android TV are Nexus Player, Mi Box, Sony Bravia TV, NVIDIA Shield TV and much more.
If you happen to have one device with the Android TV system built in, you may find that there is no iTunes application available there. This means it's impossible to authorize any iTunes videos to play there even if you have purchased or rent the videos on computers or iOS devices. But in this post, you can find out how to watch iTunes movies on Android TV.

Part 1. How to Watch iTunes TV Shows on Android TV
To stream iTunes videos to Android TV, you can use other tools like the official Apple TV, an HDMI cable, the Movies Anywhere app etc. But they are not perfect.
For instance, the Apple TV is so expensive, connecting different devices via HMDI may take up big space and not convenient. The Movies Anywhere app only supports some kinds of iTunes movies and don't support iTunes rentals. Thus, is there another more intuitive and easy way? Definitely.
As it's the DRM protection that prevents the iTunes movies to play on Android TV, you just need to get a DRM removal tool to erase the DRM encryption. I have tried multiple DRM software and the one I recommended highly is DRmare iTunes to Android TV Converter.
Not only for its ease accessibility but also for its great converting feature. It can transform iTunes M4V to common videos like MP4, AVI, WebM, 3GP, etc. After that, you will really own the iTunes videos to play on Android TV anytime.
