ATV4 SD Movies

[atmenterprises]

On my ATV3 I had he option of SD or HD movies but on ATV4 I don't see that option. Anyone know how to get the (smaller, cheaper) SD titles on ATV4?

Bumping this hoping someone has an answer.

Not sure if this is what you want since I only want HD Highest Quality.

On my Mac in iTunes / Preference / Store / see 2 Download Options.

I have not seen anything directly in Apple TV Settings but did not check carefully.

Thanks Mike. I checked that on my Mac and it's already set to download the SD stuff.

I'll have a poke around Apple's site and see if I see anything there.

I'd like to know how to do this too, if I ever rent a film I usually rent SD as its cheaper and I don't have a 1080p telly. Lat time I ended up having to rent on Mac then air playing to Apple TV.

I found this over on Apple's discussion site here, but I haven't tried it yet:

Switch to Standard Definition
If you tried the above steps and still can't play movies or TV shows from iTunes, switch from High Definition (HD) to Standard Definition (SD):

• Apple TV (4th generation): Go to Settings > Apps > iTunes Movies and TV Shows > Video Resolution and select Standard Definition.
• Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Go to Settings > iTunes Store and select Standard Definition.

Your iTunes Store purchases and rentals will now be in SD. You might be able to switch between HD and SD content in third-party apps. Check the settings within the app or contact the developer for help.
