Why can’t I download the 4K content I paid for? Not everyone has reliable high speed internet service available for streaming.

Take care.
AHappyBeeing,
Thanks for letting us know that you aren't seeing an error. Check out the information below from the article previously provided:
"...Your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV automatically play the best quality of video available for the device and your Internet connection.
If you see a message that your device might not be able to play 1080p (HD) or 4K videos
When you buy or rent a movie or TV show from the Apple TV app, the device that you're using might warn you that it can't play 1080p (HD) or 4K video content. Instead, your device automatically plays the highest-quality version of that video that it can. Your other Apple devices will play the higher-quality version if they're compatible."
If you'd like, you can request a refund by following the steps here: Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support
Best wishes to you.
I don’t receive an error. The 4K movies I purchased did not download in 4K. They download in HD. I want to be able to play the 4K content I purchased without streaming it as I’m in a rural area and do not have a high speed internet service. Why would I continue to pay for something through Apple if I can’t download it?
