When I said "became a thing" I meant that to be a nationwide option. I've seen demos of it years ago. "Slowly rolling out" is a great understatement. Why have you resorted to "hunt and peck" attacks? Slow day at the asylum?

Bad news for home theater enthusiasts
Disney is ending all DVD and Blu Ray releases down under for Australia and New Zealand which may be a harbinger of what can eventually happen to the rest of the world. Their last release will be Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3. From now on it's streaming only for them.
It's a good read for those with a big investment in physical media as streaming still can't match the quality and the big players just don't care as there'll be one less product to make.
Are we going to see a run on blu ray players with prices going through the roof again like we did when OPPO decided to call it quits? My OPPO BDP-103 is old and the mid level Panasonic DP-UB820-K is starting to look a bit desirable right now.
All the best,

@nonoise lol, when called out again about your ignorance, you try to cover it up. Your posts are just noise, useless and annoying, ruining the experience. but again, you can’t help but prove your ignorance with every post regardless of topic, and then you jump to personal attack when called out. |
@fredrik222 Did you have to go and look that up? I read a similar article just yesterday and this one just now (just to brush up a bit and get a general consensus ). The most optimistic read is here and it's still not the best of news. They've still got a long ways to go. Don't they have shuffleboard or corn hole where they keep you? All the best, |
If anyone on either side of this petty insult-fest thinks they are coming out looking better than the other side, think again. There was a real discussion to be had here, Sidetracked and disrupted by maybe 5th grade level ad hominem attacks? Seriously what are each you getting out of this? I guess it's better than getting in your car and running people down on the street. My $.02 is that these uber-expensive digital solutions - whether audio OR video, are a serious overpay because technology is moving so fast. What is today's powerful PC is tomorrow's doorstop. That's fine for those well financed enough but I kind of like my $10k purchases to have a good long runway. Secondarily, cable box aside, I don't like hardware that is tied to a single software/content source. (Finally, on the comment about many people on Audiogon having never spent over $10k on speakers, I have, but that's because it's at least 10 pairs of speakers! You can do that when you spend a lot of time hunting on the used market...) |
@jji666 like stated numerous @nonoise posts things he has no knowledge about at all, and then starts misleading others. In every single post. Like I posted earlier with a link too, he thought that cable tv quality is bad because “the number of boxes” involved. what real discussion? The premise was wrong, meaning streaming is not an inherent inferior media, as proven with kaleidascape’s platform. So how do you have a real discussion about a made up thing? |
