Still Waiting For 4k Downloads. Would You Pay A Premium?

[AL2TEACH]

... streaming to a tv isn’t straightforward in my experience as if I do home sharing via Apple TV it always seems to take forever to buffer.

You could change the channel on your router to see if that helps (I did and it helped) but the buffering is a wi-fi issue.

I’d agree except for if you download the digital version then it’s yours to keep in theory.

If you buy physical and then rip, it’s very time consuming and how do you get 4K quality, is handbrake still the one to use? Plus you have issues with artwork in Apple TV library and also streaming to a tv isn’t straightforward in my experience as if I do home sharing via Apple TV it always seems to take forever to buffer.

There is some sort of network issue. Reboot everything, Mac, AppleTV and router....maybe turn off home sharing and back on.....I have had mine get weird but it usually seems to fix itself.

I can Home Share nearly lossless Blu-ray rips which 20-30mbps bitrate with a copy seconds of initial buffering. Compressed and its probably around 1/10th the size. Shouldn't have a problem move that across WAN.
