What's the typical bitrate and compression on a UHD disc versus top bitrates on streaming services? I notice image detail (compression) and sound even on HD Blu-Rays is still better than '4k' streaming. However, I now have a 1Gbps fibre connection, maybe we can get closer? I do like owning the discs but if I'm honest I never bought a UHD player due to price and haven't bought a Blu-Ray in a couple of years...I subscribe to 4k/HDR streaming services.

Streaming 1080p - Looks like around 6-9Mbit/s is pretty standard

Streaming 4k - Most providers are under 20Mbit/s

Bluray 1080p - Up to 40Mbit/s

4k Bluray - Standard is set for anything between 92 and 144Mbit/s

It this just because of fees? DV Games don't have a fee?

No idea. It's apparently supported from streaming services and in games, but not disk.
Some people on reddit have been using a modded version Kodi and a ripped disk on the Series X and can play Dolby Vision from it.

Just seems deliberately gimped for a couple of dollars in licensing fees.

Hell, add it to Dolby Access as an option so we can pay the couple of dollars license to get it. Just like with Atmos.
