Movieland.Tv, most movies look horrible and have very low resolution.

 Resolution on almost all the films seems to be below broadcast low def,  Once Upon a Time in the West looks 720 or 1080 resolution,  which I am totally happy with.  But, most other movies on the Mov...

    I watch Movieland occassionally.  Mostly older movies and I watch them on 1080 TVs mainly set to 720.    These old movies look pretty much like I remember them watching them growing up.  I do not own any 4k TVS so not sure how they look on them with the downgrading.

    StreamerUser was indicating that the Channel Developer of Movieland.tv is name Wajid Bux (wajid_bux )  and he has a profile here in the Roku Community.  If you click on his name, perhaps you can send him a Private Message as it seems any other contact information does not exist.  Otherwise, follow the link StreamerUser provided, and post a message there. (Since he responded there previously, it should notify him that a message has been posted and he may respond in that thread.  Now that wajid_bux is flagged here also, maybe he can respond here as well.

Movieland.TV appears to be a pirate operation. A quick search finds that they have a number of films for free that are only available elsewhere on subscription services or as rentals, such as A Clockwork Orange, Rosemary's Baby, and High Plains Drifter. The resolution is probably low because that's all they could find on internet pirate sites.

Roku should probably look into this and, if I'm correct, remove Movieland.TV from the channel store.

Since Movieland.TV appears to be a one-person operation, now I'm wondering if maybe this guy just digitized his old VHS tapes. That would explain the resolution!
