rugrat:

 

I tried MGM+ for a week, but quit before trial period finished.

 

I could be wrong but the picture and sound quality seemed low to me. TVNZ+ picture quality looks better to me.

 

Did Stargate SG1 and tried some later made ones like Atlantis Stargate.

 

Maybe they were recorded in lower quality?

 

I’ve seen older TV programs than Stargate that looked better.

 

Some movies for rent/purchase are a lot cheaper then Apple TV, (at present, may be introductory offers), but most are HD, where Apple TV has a lot more 4K.

 

Was stargate shot in HD/4k? Its from the era that things were done on DV as it was good enough so no need for film, and then you end up with just a SD master. Whereas startrek TNG which is older was all done on film so they could redo the telecine at decent quality/black levels etc to make it look good.
