Re: [AFMUG] Disney+ will launch with 17 4K titles
Different services also compress at different levels. Is it still HD if it is compressed HD? I say this because I have throttled Netflix down to 1.5 Mbps, and it still says "HD" in the corner. Amazon Prime will choke at that throttle level. bp On 9/12/2019 8:49 AM, Ken Hohhof wrote: https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/12/20862167/free-disney-plus-hands-on-pilot- marvel And you can bet people will watch half of them in their first month. 17 may not sound like a lot, plus you may say who cares about Disney, but with the new streaming entrants competing fiercely for customers, I think 4K is going to be a thing.

UHD needs minimum 17mbps, but can use up to 30mbps if it's available. Yes, just like the multiple HD formats.
