What bandwidth do I need to stream 4K video to the new 4K apple tv? My ISP routinely serves up 24 to 40 Megs/second.
If I don't have enough bandwidth from my ISP, can I download the content, such as a movie or TV show for later viewing?
I find this very weird and oddly 'behind the curve' for Apple. Both Netflix and Amazon have apps for my iPhone that allow both direct streaming and storage with the 'option' to use the file either on the device or screen share. The only data connectivity we have at our house is through mobile networks. We use T-Mobile which is terrific. We can download entire seasons of a show overnight for playback in the future as we have time for them. I know 4K is a much larger file size, but considering we can easily store 17 hours of HD video for a TV show and several movies without the iPhone cracking a sweat, this is just truly strange I think.
Itunes does allow download, but it would be for HD content and stored on computer or IOS device as Apple TV is a streaming only device (other devices would be the same in this regard). Netflix downloads cannot be airplayed or streamed to another device.
You would need a home network to use ATV, the mobile provider would throttle after a certain threshold and doing so would be in violation of their fair usage policy
Streaming video on their phones isn't a use of their fair usage policy. In fact they now have added Netflix as an 'On us' site, as in 'Netflix on us'. So given that and your answer on streaming on Apple TV from iTunes, can I download a 4 K HD movie from iTunes and save to my computer for later playback?
That simply means you are receiving a complimentary subscription. You wouldn't be streaming from your phone, it would be for home use via an Apple tv and that would be in violation of the policy
No, I said computer downloads were for HD content, 4K is streaming only
The minimum is 25mbps so you should be fine
O.K. Thanks. Second part of the question. Can the new Apple TV download and store the movie or TV show for later playback?
No, all models since the 2nd Gen have been streaming only. HD content can be downloaded to a computer, however 4K content doesnt have that option.
