Apple TV 4K does not allow local 4K content downloads

Apple TV 4K connected TV

The iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or the futuristic iPhone X, were not the only teams protagonists in the latest Apple Keynote. The Steve Jobs Theater also hosted a new version of the Apple Watch and Apple TV. The latter is now capable of playing content in 4K resolution. Although be careful, because with this content you can only do streaming.

Reportedly in one of the Apple support section, the titles you buy on iTunes can be enjoyed at full resolution. Now, as it happens with other viewing qualities, everything related to 4K content cannot be downloaded locally.

Apple TV 4K problems downloading 4K content

Apparently This problem is attributed to the little internal storage in which the latest Apple TV 4K is offered: 32 or 64 GB. However, a solution will be to download a copy in HD quality, HD with HDR and with Dolby Vision. In this case, from the official Apple website it is indicated that it is possible to download these qualities.

Other recommendations that Apple makes regarding its new 4K catalog is the minimum speed that the user should enjoy. To be able to enjoy the minimum quality required in these cases, you must have a connection that downloads at a minimum of 25 Mbps. From then on there will be no problem. But watch out for Cupertino's warning: in case the Apple TV 4K detects that the download speed is lower, the quality of the viewing will automatically drop to a lower quality.

We also assume that you will take into account that this Apple TV 4K must be connected to a compatible external television or screen. Otherwise it is time — and money — wasted. Finally, this problem is added to the one already known to the first users: Apple TV 4K also does not support 4K content from YouTube.

    No Apple leaves I have the 64 of 4 generation and the storage is for the app and for the system updates. The movies you buy have never rested and music is only transmitted via the internet. Stop looking for the 5 legs of the cat. You only show how daring ignorance is
