AppleTV+ Episode Downloads
Is there a way to download a HD or SD resolution of an AppleTV episode instead of the 4K resolution? The 4K shows take incredibly too long to download, if they even manage to download at all.

Hey piccadilly2001,
It appears that you'd rather download a lower-quality versions of TV shows from the Apple TV+ app. The 4K versions take long to download, and apparently they don't always finish downloading. We're glad to glad to provide assistance.
Find movies with 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, or Dolby Atmos in the Apple TV app - Apple Support -- We're assuming that the Apple TV+ app has been installed on an Apple TV 4K. Even though lower formats are available, the Apple TV app will automatically play and download the best quality available for the device you're using.
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support -- Since it takes quite a while to download 4K movies, make sure your router is using these recommended settings. If you don’t manage your home’s Wi-Fi network, ask the one who does, or contact your ISP or router manufacturer for help.
Feedback - Apple TV App - Apple -- Apple does appreciate all feedback regarding their products, services, and features. If you'd like to provide this feedback to Apple to be reviewed, you can do so using this link.
All the best.
