I will not respond to your remaining remarks since we really don't need another "physical vs. digital" thread. |

![]() You live in a densely populated area whereas I live in a rural one and I have observed that people living in such areas as you do have less trouble with Amazon. Still, even when Amazon is intermittently delivering its best 4K stream, it still looks worse than most other providers and reliably worse than most of my blu-rays. It is no coincidence that Amazon comes in last in forum member samlop10's detailed comparative post: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...6&postcount=12 The post that you link to is comparing the bitrate of an Apple stream to an Apple download and that is not what I am talking about at all. I had hoped to see evidence that Apple now streams its HD content at a higher bitrate than it streamed it at in, say, 2015, or 2016, etc. I have seen no evidence that any streaming provider has improved their streaming bitrates nor have any of them raised their internet speed requirements to reflect such a change.

Adaptive streaming just reacts and adapts to the customer's internet service; at no point does a streaming provider ever come close to offering a stream that takes advantage of the full bandwidth offered by an ISP. I never get a 4K stream at 235 mbps; Netflix never exceeds even 16 Mbps in my experience and those of some professional reviewers. Samlop10's post shows you the best bitrate that you can hope to receive from 7 of the top streaming providers and none of these come close to utilizing the available bandwidth that many of us receive from our ISP. Adaptive streaming is designed to accommodate fluctuating network conditions; conditions which usually deteriorate. Netflix has most definitely not raised their internet service speed requirements. Adding a few kbits to their audio stream would not necessitate a raise in their overall internet service requirements. Netflix recommends a 25 Mbps connection for their 4K streams the same as they always have. Their 4K streams did not require an increase to their long existing internet service requirements even with this negligible uptick in audio bitrates. Anyway, I think I will watch some upscaled DVDs tonight as this thread has had me thinking about them. I hope that you enjoy your evening as well. Last edited by Vilya; 12-30-2019 at 12:07 AM. |

No streaming provider recommends an internet connection of "X" Mbps for a given resolution while secretly delivering you more if you have the bandwidth. The testing done by many, many people has already proven what the delivered bitrates are time and time again. Last edited by Vilya; 12-29-2019 at 11:54 PM. |

I just played "Joker" in 1080p through Amazon Video with activated ATV4 developer HUD. It showed an average video bitrate around 8-9 Mbit/s, which is more than twice of what you said they recommend above. I can't test Netflix and Hulu since I'm currently not subscribed.
