I keep reading about how DVDs and CD are yesterday's technology because everything can be streamed. That sounds ridiculous. I probably have hundreds of movies on DVDs that are not available for streaming when I want to see them. The same applies to music. I can pop a DVD or CD into a player and be entertained for a while. If I want to steam something, I need an Internet or Wi-Fi connection. If I am away from home, that costs me money for data usage. In the car, I use XM, CD, and a tiny 16GB flash drive that contains hundreds of songs.

I have Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Acorn TV at home, but Netflix offers generally sub-par movies, with the rest being their own sub-par creations. If a title pops into my head, and I don't have it on the shelf, I can probably get it faster from Amazon's store than from a streaming site.

Long live the disc!

I agree, Jerry. I have about 2200 DVD's (most regular DVD a few the old High Def (redish brown case) and about 1/3 are either Blu-ray or Blu-ray 3d. I use DVD Profiler to keep track and have both the desktop version and the version on my phone. Both have my complete inventory and the phone version is great when I'm at the store so I can make sure that I'm not buying a duplicate.
I do have a set top dvr (in the cable box) which I mainly use for time shifting a sports or tv show that I want to see in a better time slot or save for future watching. But, if it is a movie and I like it, I will probably go looking for the Blu-ray so that I OWN it. I can watch those anytime and can even throw a couple into the car and watch them on the laptop or plug the laptop into a tv at the resort/hotel/motel and watch while on my trips. I don't do pay per view or any of that. I will sometimes see a movie on the tv menu that I either don't have or haven't seen in a while and may watch it there. If its one that I already have, I probably will switch the tv to DVD and watch my copy so that I don't have to deal with commercials, stupid editing etc.
