Star Wars films?
Stop with your misconceptions.Discs are digital. 4K discs will be better than 4K streaming.
Beat me to it... I have so called 56mbps from TW and I'm lucky if my stuff looks 1080p for a full hr straight.
It is not required. My copy of La La Land has been upgraded to 4K HDR and I don't own an Apple TVWell that's the issue, and why this will fail. If the 4K Apple TV is required to GET the 4K content, I cannot download it on my mac over night and use home sharing.

Yes but if the Apple TV is required to request 4K content, I cannot use home sharing and it will just be useless to a lot of people that have issues with their internet.
Not true, 1080P streaming was the same as the Blu-ray counterpart. 4K shows on Netflix were the same as the UHD counterpart as well. I’d assume Apple’s h.265 codec will be able to handle it as well. The flags are there but I don’t believe the files are available.
It'll be required to display 4K content, but nobody's seeing 4K on the computer's iTunes yet.
The difference is so negligible it doesn’t matter. The now defunct h.264 format was nearly indistinguishable from Blu-ray. The new h.265 codec should be identical to the UHD codec. A lot of the streaming issues in the display of 1080P format on iTunes was the AppleTV not the file itself.
This is going to fail so bad. Seriously, no download option? I cannot stream at 4K. Internet in the US sucks horribly.

So you can't actually download at 4K which is a serious issue. My internet is not that reliable even at a 300 Mbps plan. Crappy Spectrum. The only way I can watch content smoothly is to download it over night.
If you can sustain at least a 15Mibps you'll be fine to stream 4K+HDR content from the iTS.
1080p streaming cannot compare to 1080p Blu-ray, and 4K streaming cannot compare to UltraHD Blu-ray.
Nope. I get 1080p buffering a lot. I don't want to spend 5 hours watching a 2 hour movie. I will just download it at night, and while at work. 16 hours will be enough to download the video.
No kidding. Streaming bitrates can't compare to the bitrates used on blu-rays.
I'd love a list of app 4K titles. Right now it's a guessing game.
If you actually ran the numbers you'd see how very wrong you are that 300Mibps isn't enough. Perhaps you need to get better equipment in your home or do some exploratory testing instead of blaming your ISP outright and claiming that both Apple are math are lying to you.
Wow just wow! You need to look up terms like h264, bluray, h265, UHD. Find out which of those terms are actual codecs and which are standards.The difference is so negligible it doesn’t matter.

I suspect that when the Apple TV launches there will be a big feature section of the movies available. And then it will likely be one of those smaller buttons like the ongoing 99 cent rentals

Spectrum are blaming themselves! Why do you assume it's just my fault? We have BAD BAD BAD wiring in our neighborhood. And I didn't say I get 300 Mbps speeds. I said that was my PLAN. It drops to just 3 or 5 down A LOT. Spectrum says it is an issue on THEIR END.
