It goes without saying, DVDs/BlueRays.

    Well with your DVDs the “HD resolution” question is easily answered: you don’t get HD resolution. Weird comparison there. Especially since you complain about Disney+ not going beyond 480p in your specific case - so why buy DVDs with the same shitty resolution?

    While I generally agree here, resolution isn’t everything, bitrate also plays a role, and some content in streaming services has been compressed rather badly so that you get artifacts that you don’t have on DVDs. A DVD will certainly look better than 480p streaming content despite a much older codec which light only exists as a reason for an upsell.

    I think the way to go is a Homeserver (could even be a raspberry pi) where you can somewhat secure your storage with appropriate redundancy.

    And how would you get stuff onto your homeserver legally?

        I mean if you’re going for the piracy route, you never used streaming services or bought physical media anyways and the whole discussion is moot.

          Oh no… And don’t presume. Just ask.

          Because I DID buy them and used the services.

          I just, now, think disney, Spotify…whatever…none of them, deserve a penny more.

          So i do my part against these corporations, by not giving them anything.

          You do you. Buy the things.
          Buy.
          Buy.
          Buy.
          Buy…
