    Rental movies doesn't show no. of days left anymore in tvOS 11???

    Is it there on your Apple TV? I contacted Apple Support and they just plainly said this feature is removed, which is plainly stupid. Can anyone confirm? If you rent a movie, open TV app and hover on the poster and see if there is this information on the top right of your TV (for tvOS11 only).

    Can I only use the Theatre from iMovie? But not iMovie.

    I am looking for a way to store my home movies in iCloud. Apple still hasn't have an option/app/solution for this. I recently read about iMovie Theatre: it stores homemovies in iCloud with an Apple TV to view them. But I make my movies in Final Cut Pro X. Is there a way to bypass iMovie and load...
