That's bizarre. Why allow the Roku to do it, but not the AppleTV or PS3/4?
It's ridiculous how many devices one must own to be able to stream properly.
I recently watched the "Baywatch" movie on Amazon Prime - missed it in theaters and wanted to see it, and it was a free Prime selection. By the time the film finished playing, I was willing to fork over $5 to iTunes for a rental to have had better quality. The downmix from 5.1 to 2.0 sounded...
