Screen resolution on ATT Uverse versus Comcast Xfinity
I have a Samsung Smart LED1040p HD 55 inch 8000 series TV. I download Comcast on demand HD movies. My TV is set for 1920x1240 resolution. The Comcast WIFi used for streaming is over 25 Meg's download. The movies played are excellent video but not as terrific as my son's similar Samsung TV when he plays ATT Uverse on demand downloads, also a wifi connection with similar strength to mine. His resolution is smoother and appears to approach UHD.
QUESTION: Is ATT streaming in higher resolution than Comcast? I'm talking recent movies filmed in HD like "The Danish Girl" or "Irrational Man". Even when I compared an older movie from 2001, "Bandits," the Uverse streaming was far superior to Comcast. What gives? Your help is appreciated.

@Harryw Might be the fact your son is downloading a program through 1 of his four streams through ATT's system Intranet from ATT's VHO within 100 miles w/automatic error correction. Yours is downloading on the Internet, possibly 1000s of miles away, no included correction and all that implies on a large download.
Yours might look better if you could download it all then watch it. But again, no included error correction, that can make the difference.

If the 1080 content is being scaled to display on a 1240 vertical resolution, then that may explain a large number of issues.
