Apple adds iCloud TV Show re-downloading to iPhone, iPad
Right after Apple added TV Show stream purchases and Vimeo video to Apple TV, our writer at large, Chad Garrett, spotted TV Shows in the Cloud today on his iPhone. It seems Apple has pulled the trigger on TV Show re-downloads, much as they've always allowed for apps and previously announced for music. It's limited to TV Shows (no movies), and to the US for now, but it's nice to see Apple adding functionality to iCloud so quickly -- even before the formal launch this fall.
Are you seeing TV shows under your purchased content in iTunes.app?
Update: Not all shows yet, apparently. Perhaps some networks haven't (yet) agreed to be part of the service?

Yes. It just appeared... Magic
Just TV. No Movies. US. ATT. iP4. 4.3.5
The only thing not seeing on here besides movies is some of the NFL game highlight/recap shows that I've downloaded. I wonder if they are only going back a specific amount of years for now.
yep, it's there on my AT&T iPhone 4, OS version shall be unnamed
Yep, it's there.
It just appeared as the "purchased" tab in the iOS AppStore did. Nice.

I see most of my stuff. I do not however see the new episodes of Eureka on there. Just the older ones.
Yup. Nice. Just downloaded a bunch of shows to the MBP for a long trip, now I can finish them on my phone. Nice...
After reading about all the people that dont like iCloud over on Mac Rumors, it seems everyone here loves it. Including me
It appeared on my iPad 2, but a lot of stuff is still missing.
For example: I purchased several season passes for the X Games over the last years and it shows only this year's event, not the past ones.
Also I can't seem to see Avatar - The Last Airbrender right now.
PS: Can anyone actually stream a full episode? I can't seem to. I can download the full episode and stream a 30 second preview but that's it.
See lots of stuff in iTunes (10.4) but nothing on iPhone 4 (Verizon 4.2.10). Alas, I'll have to wait for iOS 5.
Do you mean streaming, or downloading? Because I can't seem to stream anything.
Please check your sources first.
It's not streaming. It gives you a 30 second preview and you can download the show to your device.
Streaming would not require you to download anything to your device.
Cool, but only one episode from all three seasons of "Breaking Bad" appears. (The pilot.) Wonder why? All my "Sopranos," "The Wire" and "Scrubs" episodes are available.
Hey working for me not everything is on, but it's looking good. I also noticed music videos are on the music side of iCloud. I would luv it if they allowed us to stream the content, but I guess now due to these limited caps and throttling that's a lost cause.
Can they add my podcast subscriptions with streaming so I don't constantly have to be downloading it?
That would be killer. Although there are several apps (free and paid) that do this. I use Podcaster, which is great. Can download to device for offline or stream. And can schedule updates.
It's no longer working for me on my iPad or iPhone. The list comes up blank now.
