Thing bigger.
Instead of a movie or few episodes, consider physical media that could store a year or decade of TV shows and movies.

It consists of a terabyte of data bringing together the latest music, Hollywood movies, TV series, mobile phone apps, magazines and even a classifieds section similar to Gumtree or Craigslist. Every week, unidentified curators compile a selection of content and deliver it via a complex network of hundreds of distributors who, much like old-fashioned newspaper delivery boys, bring the Paquete to the door of its subscribers." http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33816655 http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33816655
