>Could be a DRM thing. You might not have a trusted display/decoding device, so it gives you the low res.

True, but that is why this is a hard engineering challenge -- there are a lot of variations on client-side devices which need to be supported well. Upgrade cycles for TVs is 3x that of phones, is my guess.



Except there are only 3 DRM providers, and as a streaming service provider you just wrap the 3 providers libraries and write a few config files.


'That' being DRM?
