I noticed this last weekend, and confirmed it this weekend.
I sometimes use my ATV4 with a 720p projector. Before, I'd get a flawless video stream from Netflix regardless of whether the ATV was outputting 720p or 1080p. Now when the ATV4 is outputting 720p, I get a low bitrate stream full of blocking artifacts. Ugh.
I solved it for the moment by forcing the ATV4 to output 1080p60, but my projector's downscaler doesn't produce as high quality an image as when fed a native 720p signal. Granted, it's better than the ugly low bit rate stream, but I'd much rather just feed the projector native 720p.
Anyone know of possible workarounds for this?
