Download and watch via apple TV/ Airplay

Can i download a movie in itunes in HDR on my mac and then watch it on my big screen TV via apple TV/airplay? I have slow streaming speeds, but can download to a mac eventually... but I don't want to watch on my mac, I want to watch on my apple TV connected large screen via airplay. Can I do that? seems like maybe only in HDR, not 4K?



MacBook Air 11″, macOS 10.15

If your Mac is HDR capable, then you may be able to download an HDR version of a movie. HDR playback may be limited to the built-in display for some Mac models. You would not be able to download content from Apple in 4K resolution.

Remember to turn off the AirPlay setting to stream from the cloud anyway, if your goal is to stream a local file, for items from the iTunes Store or Apple TV app Channel content.
