    you should get 1080p if you download from prime video - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054817...ears%2520Later
    same with groundhog day - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107048...undhog%2520Day.

      I don't get Netflix via Prime video. I don't rent/rip on Prime. Groundhog Day and 28 Years Later are not included with PRIME in the U.S. unless purchased.

      As I stated for those having issues on Netflix not getting 1080p, you have to wait for the title to hit another streaming service where 1080p is supported. E.g., Universal films will be on Peacock (owned by Universal) in 1080p at some point.

        Are they trying to crack the encryption for those companies at HD, or are they just saying "it is what it is"? Not being disrespectful, just want to know if we should even hope.

          Please read #2 again: "Since mid Oct 2023 .."

          So it's been like this for almost two years ..
          .. and no change has ever been promised.

          Incidentally, it was exactly the same with the competition at the time.

          I see no indication that this could change anytime soon.

          NF is the one offering only 540p in Chrome/Firefox ..
          .. why is SF to blame if NF only offers 540p ?


          btw: Groundhog Day is included with PV at amazon.co.uk

            I never blamed anyone. I simply asked if they were trying. I don't keep up with the competition. But, thank you for the response.

              Correct, so please consider this a general statement and not something personal.
