Just to clarify what I meant by my post as I don't think I worded it well - you can stream 4K content on those devices, meaning you can watch 4K content you own, but as you said you will not be seeing it in that resolution.
Noel, it's not a studio thing- it's how and where the movie was obtained as to whether you get a 4K upgrade from Apple.
I have no doubt you have many 4K upgrades in your collection, but that is only because for those titles the right conditions were met. The Reddit chart I posted last week...
@noel aguirre, last night I inquired on another forum with those who have the 3D disc in hand as to whether you will get the 4K stream on iTunes and woke up to multiple confirmations that the code does only give an HD stream.
Just trying to help.
We're just trying to help you here, man. Really. Genuinely. No matter what you think. We want you to make a purchase with your hard earned money that you're happy with. You're not going to be happy with this purchase if you think redeeming an HD code on MA will get you a 4K stream on iTunes...
You cannot download 4K files, Noel.
At all. Doesn't exist.
That is how I know we are talking about streaming.
It also makes me think that if you didn't know that, there's a fighting chance you don't know some of the other stuff the 3 of us fairy smart guys are trying to tell you either.
So I...
Just make sure you know that when you see a movie's resolution listed in the info, that is the highest resolution available, not necessarily what you own. Seeing the resolution you own can only be done when the title is playing.
Not saying you got it wrong, just saying it confuses a lot of...
My last post on the subject, Noel.
This is from my post above, with info direct from Apple, about when you will NOT get a 4K upgrade.
Good luck. Peace out.
If it's not redeemable directly on iTunes then you would be correct.
I was under the impression that MA codes could be redeemed at any MA retailer, in which case you would be incorrect.
I can't back you up because I'm not 100% sure you're correct.
My understanding, and I could be wrong, is that if Noel were to redeem the HD 3D code directly on iTunes, he will get his copy upgraded to 4K. If he redeems it at MA or Vudu, it stays HD.
I'm taking no hard stand here as to who's...
