Hi, It looks like they’ve changed some things around a bit or I’ve got some things backwards. When the movie is downloaded, you are correct in that it only shows the versions of HD available. If the movie is up in the Cloud,, that is, it's not yet downloaded, the SD version is available in the Video Quality menu. So, you could either stream it from the Cloud or download the SD version and see if that works through the projector. I’m surprised that other digital movie providers do not have some sort of DRM restricting this as well. The license agreement says that the movie is for personal use only, thus, this was a method of restricting the ability of users to project to larger audiences.
