Netflix has announced that all customers, including Apple TV set-top box owners, now have access to the highest quality HD streams available, regardless of their Internet service provider (ISP).

TV shows and movies on Netflix that already look crisp “will look even better on HD screens with a higher bit rate stream, Super HD, that applies less compression to the 1080p image,” according to Neflix.

The company initially rolled out the feature in January, but limited its availability to ISPs with a direct connection to Netflix.

“Based on the performance data we’ve seen, and in response to member requests, we are now expanding availability to give all our members the ability to enjoy Netflix in the best possible quality,” according to the company.

Apple TVs launched in early 2012 (and newer models) are the only ones that can play back Super HD content.
