I have custom synch selected for my :apple:TV that places TV shows and photos on the hard drive. I have the connection shared from the airport on my iMac.

Would anyone know why I would lose synched items from my :apple:TV when the connection from my airport is lost?

Example I have 10 TV shows on the hard drive, connect is lost, 3 TV now only show on the hard drive.

Thanks!
 
Are you absolutely sure you have synced the TV Shows to the Apple TV? It sounds like you haven't ticked the boxes for all of the TV Shows to be synced to the Apple TV, and instead, they are set up for streaming.

So essentially, when you lose your AirPort connection, the TV Shows are no longer available for streaming, so you won't be able to view them on the Apple TV.
 
Yes I am sure, I check again, I chose synch all TV episodes and the hard drive capacity shows the TV episodes taking up space.
