I have an AppleTV with a large library of purchased films. I noticed that a lot of films (about a third) that I have purchased in 4k seem to be downgraded to HD. They still appear in my 4k HDR section but whilst streaming bringing up the info show the format to be HD. I spotted this because I was streaming Apollo 13 and thought the picture look less than 4k quality and sure enough my suspicions were confirmed when I pressed the menu button and saw the info panel. I then proceeded to go through all my 4k films and found 12 others that may have been downgraded to 4k. Only fair to say that some films it is actually hard to tell it is HD and not 4k.
Here's the affected list, if anyone has these films on ITunes - wonder if you could check to see what they play back in ? BTW no sure this is anything to do with planned downgrading of streams due to CoronaVirus because it just seems to have affected random films.
Apollo 13
Baby Driver
The Deer Hunter
Grease
Groundhog Day
La La Land
Predator 1 + 2
The Running Man
Saving Private Ryan
Scarface
The Shining
Superman
