TV app SD content

Not a big fan of this TV app or Apple TV app or whatever you want to call it in the new operating system. Really miss the old iTunes interface.


I normally purchase my movies in HD and my TV shows in SD (saving space) but as I went to make my first purchases on the TV app I realized i can't see an option to change the resolution purchased for any content.


Even in movies that option doesn't seem to be available.


What am I missing?
