If I load the Netflix app on my TV and resume the same show it shows 2160 and 11-15mbps as I would expect.
They are both connected to the same switch and I am getting my full 545 mbps
Does anyone else have this out of interest?

It's by design and not what was happening in lockdown:

I had a look at their blog when I noticed the same thing the other way round (i.e. lower bitrate on my TV than on V6). It can depend on which stream you pick up as you may not always connect to the same data centre.
