(On a huge tangent). (Some updates to my thinking on this). On and off over the past month or so, I was reading some of the legal documents which were released from the decss lawsuits between 2600 magazine vs. the MPAA from the early 2000s. One in particular was interesting...

Hmmm .... Samsung bluray players no longer booting up properly, and end up falling into an infinite loop after being turned on. https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Home-Theater/Blu-ray-player-BD-JM57C-keeps-cycling-on-off-whenever-plugged-in/td-p/1278935 Wonder what Samsung will do...

For many years I followed a "no bluray = no sale" rule, largely to limit the number of tv season sets I buy. (Primarily to avoid jumping onto an ocd compulsive collecting treadmill). The fact that many non-genre and/or non-cable shows are not released on bluray at all, makes this very...

This is a spinoff from another thread, which is probably more appropriate here. (Thinking about it more). In my current scenario, I don't have any kids to pass on all my stuff to. (My kid passed away very young). I also have too many health problems, where I can croak suddenly at any time...

(I don't want to sound too pessimistic). I have wondered what signs could possibly be strong indications of the end of the tv on dvd/blu-ray market as we know it. Here is a list of ominous signs I would be looking for in 2012 and later years. - Long running incumbent popular tv shows (such as...
