Casting from mobile to TV - limited to 720p? Looks HORRIBLE.

I recorded a football game in the xFinity cloud and then streamed it from my phone (using the xFinity Stream app) to my Sony TV.

The picture was SMALL (about 2/3rd's of the total screen area) and looked HORRIBLE (blurry/pixelated for hours). And no, I wasn't having internet/speed issues as other apps, etc, streamed easily in 4k.

So is Xfinity limiting "casting" to a TV to 720p? Are they living in the year 2000?

If they really are limiting casting to a TV to 720p, then that's SICKENING. Is that supposed to make customers happy?

Yeesh.
