I think you might be missing the point.

I gave an alternative for those who have cable to view it. It wasn't meant to undercut this deal. I am actually thinking of buying it tbh because I know in 4K it will probably be just as amazing as Tiny World on AppleTV which is in 4K UHD HDR streaming.

The point was pretty obvious in the first statement I made.

"get much better video and audio quality and buy these disks" vs streaming.

If you think you get the same audio and video quality from a 4K HDR stream vs the same material on a 4K HDR disk, you are uninformed.

The additional content was not the point. If you have 4K UHD HDR with the right setup it will show in those parameters just as it would with a disk with the same parameters. Or are you refuting this statement?

See for yourself. Learning more about a hobby, if it is a hobby for you, isn't something that will come easily being hard headed.

4K HDR streams are commonly less that half (usually more) the bitrate of the same material on a 4K UHD disk (like the deal posted here). Most streams top at around 30 Mbps but disks can be up around 100 Mbps.

You can always google it if you want some more info.

I agree with you. I have the Apple 4K TV standalone plus Roku built in with app Apple TV. The Roku built in apps display the movies cleaner and crisper than the AppleTV box. I haven't bought a 4K player but I'm going to. I will buy dynasties as well. Thanks!
