You're right, of course but I'm one of 'em. :)

Maybe I'm missing something but what does any of what you said above have to do with ownership? Of course you own a disc when you purchase it. DIVX was the only exception and it suffered a deserved and predictable death. I do understand that without DVD/Blu Ray players the discs are...

Respectfully, I think there's a whole side to this discussion you're missing. Ability to access your streamed content is one thing. Truly owning it is another. Some of us feel strongly about truly owning what we purchase. Others are content with digital codes and streaming. My point here is...

That's cool. Happy for you. The libraries where I live offer a very small sampling of what's out there and will usually not even bother with Blu Rays. That makes then essentially worthless for me but not a problem as I'm happy to pay for the titles I want as long as I truly own them afterwards.

For this type of content, I agree. That's why I have no problem with services such as Netflix where it is understood that you are basically paying for the right to view whatever content they have available at a given time. For feature films, however, I still prefer physical copies in most...

In our previous home this was basically our situation too because the room only allowed a TV to be located adjacent to the head of our bed, which created an uncomfortable viewing angle. In the new home there is a pedestal specifically designed for a TV to the front left of the room. It makes...

Got it.

I "think" I understand where you're coming from. I'm reluctantly coming to a similar conclusion but [for me] 4K seems to be the breaking point.

I may have worded the question incorrectly. Let me try again... When you're not watching "Dynasty" [full disclosure - I was more of a Dallas guy :) ] what do you you do with your HT?

if not your HTPC, What do you use for your other content?

Again we're in similar predicaments, @DaveF, but I see my HTPC surviving in perpetuity, although [for the moment anyway] I've already given up on it for 4K UHD. The dirty truth in my case is that the majority of the time in my theater room these days is spent either listening to music while I...
