I've been with TIDAL since the service was introduced in the United States. Their latest move eliminating the option to buy music through their download store motivated me to cancel my subscription. Why on Earth would I support a streaming service at $19.99 a month when it doesn't offer what...

We streamed Bros last night and had a great time. This is the earliest we've ever pre-ordered a movie disc.

I always wipe the disc from the center hub outward, never in a circular motion. I used a paper towel on a lens once and I won't do that again. LOL I suppose you could just dab the disc with a paper towel. These Blu-ray/4K discs *are* touted as scratch resistant after all.

If you're determined to "wash" the disc, use a microfiber cloth to dry it. Remember, paper comes from wood and that's not something you want near a disc or lens surface.

Pixels/freezing were the problem. It was just like some early DVDs. Btw, I've never "washed" a DVD/Blu-ray/4K. I have used moist lens wipes through the years but only when discs have fingerprints and/or excessive dust.

My replacement Poltergeist 4K disc arrived. This one is fine. If you told me back in 1998 that I'd still be dealing with defective movie discs in 2022...

We just tried to watch our copy of the Poltergeist UHD. It pixelated briefly at the beginning and started freezing and pixelating during kitchen / face peeling scene. We have a Panasonic DP-UB820-K that we bought last Christmas. We're wondering what we should do.

I still have my iPod but I switched to a FiiO player a couple years ago. It's sad to see the product discontinued.

We're getting more information! I love this film and I prefer the open matte. This reminds me of the "film grain" issue. People made a huge fuss and now some discs look awful with way too much grain.

Since I'm getting more picture with 1:37, I'm happy. It is a shame they aren't offering a widescreen option for the purists.

I prefer Skatetown, U.S.A. but that's neither here nor there.

When DVD was introduced in late '90s, I wanted *everything*. It was nice to have all my "shows" on a format that would age relatively well. I hated tape and still do. These days I'm transitioning from standard DVD to Blu-ray/4K discs and I only buy movies I know I'll re-watch. I've gone from...

Thanks for the info!

I'm in Texas and ironically, I have to pay online sales tax.

I bought a couple animated shorts from iTunes that would look great in 4K but I don't think they're still available on my new iMac running Big Sur. This bothers me and regarding digital movies - "...Apple, Amazon, Google are all competing to be our provider. Even Microsoft is belatedly getting...
