I have been buying several seasons of TV shows now that I have an Apple TV, but one series, Elementary season 1, is duplicated on my PC in iTunes. Every episode is downloaded twice. When I delete the duplicate episodes, however, the duplicates are still listed with a cloud next to them. How can I get iTunes to just show each episode once in the list?

Is one HD and another SD ?

Had same problem.. I'm hoping it will get fixed when GM is released, but for now you can delete any duplicates then hide them by going to Settings/iTunes & App Store and under SHOW ALL, switch off Music and Videos. It doesn't solve the problem, but at least you won't see it!

Another forum had a link to the tool Apple released at the same time as Beta 6, but wasn't available OTA.

You can download from your dev portal.

Installs option under Music in settings to delete all music and video so you can reinstall - a much longer method, but works..

If you email the file to yourself it's easy to install also
