[iTunes] playing tv shows

[Ken Stevens]

Hi Becca:

I agree Cosmos is a fantastic series, however a little dated.

I don't think you can burn them to DVD.  Apple sells a box called  
Apple TV that
does exactly what you want.  You can rent movies through iTunes,  buy  
movies and
tv shows and subscribe to video podcasts.  They are downloaded via the  
internet to
the Apple TV hard drive  and are played on your TV.

You can also get an iPod A/V cable and connect your iPod to your TV.

Check to make sure you get one that is compatible with your nano.

Hope this helps.
