Downloads - Switching Servers

Hey Everyone,
Question on downloading to either Strato or Premier server.

For UHD or Disney titles I have to download to the Strato. So no choice there.
But for HD (Blu-ray) I can download to the Premier to save space on Strato for UHD titles.

My question is: Would I get a better output downloading even the Blu-ray's to the Strato because the Player in the Strato has a better output than the M500?

If I did that, say in the beginning, but needed space on the Strato later for more UHD content, could I re-download a Blu-ray back over to the Premier, if I started to run out of space on my Strato?

Thanks!
Sean
 
You can easily delete HD titles from the Strato and redownload to the Premiere server when you need to.
 
So today I purchased a D2D download of Deepwater Horizon and it only gave me one choice to download to (my paired system). 2 downloads are in progess. I know the HDR is going to Strato, but is the HD one going there too or to Premiere? It did not give me any choices besides (My paired system).
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks!
Sean

Did you go to the Strato browser Interface and set HD & SD downloads go to your Premiere system?

Pro tip:
You can also change the download settings for paired systems via the web store.
  1. Navigate to Manage > Account > My Systems.
  2. Click on the menu button for the paired system and select "Download Settings" from the menu:
