How to Play DRM iTunes Movies on LG Smart TV

It is fantastic if we can watch our favorite movies or TV shows on big-screen TV. The LG smart TV, which is highly praised by Engadget "In fact, we'd say it's the best smart TV UI we've ever used.", is one of the smart TV leaders in the market. You may have one LG TV, and may have question like "Can I stream iTunes movies/shows to my LG Smart TV?".

"I usually collect movies and TV shows in iTunes and used an Apple TV unit to watch them on TV. I just purchased an LG Smart TV, which says it can stream from your computer. But I did not find any way to stream the movies/shows stored in iTunes to LG smart TV. Will LG TV play iTunes movies? If I can stream direct to the TV, will I need to set anything up to do it?

Answer: LG TV can't play iTunes movies or TV shows, because the files in iTunes are DRM protected and can only be watched on Apple related devices.
