Well, for me it was new. I didn't know if 1080p content is streamed in HEVC on my TV or Shield.
Don't know what do you mean ,,Shows that are in 4K will stream 1080p HEVC", suppose will stream in 4k HEVC?
On my TV app (Samsung HU7500) all 4k content is streamed at 15.26Mbps, TV supports HEVC. Never saw 6300mbps for 1080p.
Same clip (War Machine) on Shield has 5,53Mbps on 1080p and same 15.26Mbp...

What I meant is, if the show is native 4K, then it would have a HEVC stream for 1080p also. When you connect the Shield to a 1080p TV, such shows will stream in 1080p HEVC and they are usually 6300kbps. 1080p AVC streams max out at 5800kbps.
