We used to use our DVR to record things from Turner Classic Movies. Not just sitting around watching the channel, but we used it to gather things up, although sometimes we watched things on it live too. It was about as good as owning the movie in DVD or Blu-ray and we could watch it anytime we wanted, for years and years, when recorded on DVR. Then along came 4k and the new 4k-enabled cable box deletes our recorded movies after 365 days, even if space is not required. Screw you, Comcast.
- dangus 3y agoSo instead of buying/renting movies directly on a digital service, you subscribe(d) to a cable service that costs probably $60-100/month, wait for the movie you want to be played on a schedule and be recorded to a DVR hard drive in your house, and then you watch the movie along with content and aspect ratio edits, reduced bitrate, and a channel watermark. I can’t understand how you you tolerate or prefer this setup, whether it be now or in the past.
