Here's how to find your movies and TV shows on your iPhone and iPad.

1. Open the TV app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap Library.
3. View your recent purchases or tap TV Shows or Movies to see all of your purchased iTunes content.

When you find what you want, you can either stream content in iCloud or download it directly onto your device so you can watch it while offline.
