I was wondering if there is alot of data usage when playing these purchased TV shows on my home internet service I have 95GB available per month. Is it correct to say that if they were purchased and stored on my ITunes account then are played via Apple TV they are not being streamed live? Not sure either way, need to be enlightened on this. Thanks for any info.

I just checked my internet home usage this morning and after playing 2 tv shows from older seasons from ITunes I consumed about 1.80 GB above my normal daily usage. Not terrible but something to keep an eye on. Will try playing them from time to time from the IPAD directly as they are downloaded there in the Video app to Apple TV.
