Verify that you are signed in to the TV app on your Mac (menu Account) with the Apple ID account as used for the purchase.

Watching iTunes Moves I bought downloaded on iPad Pro (USB-C) on TV with NO Wifi I would think this would be a simple question, but I am finding that it isn't. I have a lot of movies that I have bought from Apple and I would like to be able to download them to my iPad and play them on my camper TV when I don't have an internet connection. How do I do that without getting an error that tells me that "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies"??? I can download movies from Netflix and Amazon Prime to my iPad and play them just fine. Why can't I play the movies that I've paid for? Please help. Thanks
