If you have Apple TV the SD/HD topic is dead. It's all HD

I have numerous SD titles. When I use the Search interface it shows that there is an HD version available, but that's not what is being streamed.

Incorrect. Apple announced when they released the Apple tv3 all current digital copies that were owned would stream for free in 1080p to all as a free sort of upgrade. It's very obvious an upgrade. Watch a movie on an iPad for example you own. It streams in sd on the iPad and on Apple TV it's very clearly streaming in HD. Btw all ultra violet digital copies of the same movies are HDX. So yes they are all HD on Apple TV too. Like I said just search the movie. Lastly. Stuff I own in standard definition say it. Just like the movies I own in HD say it. The monies that were SD digital copies that get the free upgrade only on Apple TV say nothng. Neither HD or Standard definition.
