Apple TV streaming on Windows 10 using Microsoft Edge

First off, this will no work. You need to download either Google Chrome or the Brave browser. Doing so you will be able to stream the Apple TV+ shows, but they will look terrible; at least for me. My display is 1440p and it looks worst than some YouTube videos that are more than 10 years old.


I have even tried paying... yes, PAYING for the codec Microsoft offers in its store, 'HEVC Video Extensions'. It was only $0.99. It allowed me to now be able to use Apple TV+ streaming on Apple's website... at the SAME quality I had for free on both of the other browsers mentioned above. SMH.


I search far and wide on the Internet, found a post that said something to the effect of use the URL: edge://flags and ENABLE PlayReady DRM for Windows 10. Which I did and restarted the browser. Same results. Streaming that looks like 480p.


I tried streaming on my iPhone XS Max, looks great in HD 1080p or above. I used my Apple TV to stream, the same results, looks great.


I just want to use my beautiful 27" 1440p 144Hz display to watch some great film, as I do to view: YouTube in 1440p, Netflix and Hulu in 1080p or above.


Is that too hard to ask for?

Windows, Windows 10
