I'm confused, how are you getting this information? Does Apple TV have a way to display the bitrate ceiling?
Also, do you find the bitrate differences noticeable? On my 4k tv, I find Netflix looks pretty good, but Amazon looks pretty bad and HBO Now is awful of course (no Max yet, since I use a Roku.) This might be enough to get me to check out AppleTV+.

- paxswill 6y agoNot Apple TV specific, but Netflix (and I think Prime) have test videos that also show the bitrate as it’s streaming. I used them a while back when setting up my network and access point location.
- radley 6y agoApple TV has a Developer overlay with video metadata (requires XCode & dev account). Yeah, there's a clear difference, especially on Disney & Apple. Apple is very close to 4K blu-ray (there's some YouTube vids comparing them). I'm using a low end 4K projector, so it's more apparent.
- ponker 6y agoMost routers can log enough information to calculate the bit rate. You’ll need enterprise equipment to show a real time feed per MAC but getting a “total bytes transferred” now and an hour from now is very easy.
