    I knew there had to be more to the story. Thank you for posting this information. However, I'm afraid those of us that are against purchasing digital copies will continue to do so which is fine by me. People ought to do what they feel is right for them. The same applies to those of us that...

    I don't think that's true at all!. However, I do detect some hostility from some of the "only own physical media" folks towards those of us that have an open mind towards having a digital library. Another thing, even though I maintain a digital library, by the end of this month, since August...

    Again, I wish we knew which three titles were dropped and under what specific circumstances.

    That was 20 years ago and there were different circumstances. Times have changed, the world has evolved and so has the HTF membership, at least to some extent. Anyhow, below is an article talking about the demise of DIVX. http://articles.latimes.com/1999/jun/17/business/fi-47347

    I took your comment as being disagreeable, but I refrain from posting in kind. I understand your position as well as others that refuse to buy digital copies. Each of us have to make personal decisions and I will always respect that. My personal decision is to maintain a digital library and...

    When somebody steals from me I’ll let you know.

    Hmm, that linked issue looks familiar.;) Perhaps, it's been linked beforehand.:)

    I think most of us would prefer that, if price/budget and storage aren't a factor.

    Disney is about to launch their own streaming service so I don't I think they're changing their mind any time soon.:)

    If you turn Atmos off your receiver playing discs, it won't play Atmos either.

    Another title is "Atomic Blonde".

    My Yamaha receiver is showing Dolby Atmos on my Vudu streams. Can you distinguish any differences between such Vudu streams and actual discs? I tried to do the same with Vudu versus iTunes when it comes to Dolby Atmos and I couldn't tell a difference. My 4 Dolby Atmos speakers are kicking in...

    Why should I be careful? I know Amazon Prime has its fans, but I'm not one of them.

    I’m trying not to purchase anymore movies on Blu-ray BUT….

    As I stated beforehand, if you're happy with just watching discs then that's your business and I'm happy for you. I'm not trying to change anybody's mind on how they watch their favorite movies and such. However, from my personal perspective, I stream and watch digital copies to augment my...

    My AppleTV 4K unit in my main HT is setup as a Beta user so I'm not sure if it's released to the general public. Edit: Just found this blurb. Dolby Atmos will be made available all owners of Apple TV 4K with tvOS 12 this fall but you can start exploring right now by installing the free public...

    You need tvOS 12 on your Apple TV 4K unit to get Dolby Atmos.

    I’m trying not to purchase anymore movies on Blu-ray BUT….

    Yes, you missed an update as Dolby Atmos in now available on iTunes. Early this morning I sampled and check at least 50-60 titles. Dolby Atmos was available on 4K HDR/Dolby Vision titles as well as several titles that didn't upgrade from HD to HDR/Dolby Vision, but still had Dolby Atmos...

    I just sampled various titles on iTunes in Dolby Vision/HDR with Dolby Atmos. Very impressive!

    Unlike you, I have no wife that would object to such a large display.:)

    Most of my digital copies are free that came with my disc purchases. Most of my other purchased digital copies are usually $4.99. Though, I've purchased some 4K/UHD copies at $9.99.

    I still don't see Apple or Walmart going out of business in the next 20 years, if I'm lucky enough to live that long.

    Yes, I do think they'll be available to me 12 years from now if I'm still available to see them.

    I’m trying not to purchase anymore movies on Blu-ray BUT….

    I have a hard time thinking Vudu or ITunes are going out of business any time soon. Walmart and Apple don't seem like they're going anywhere in what's left in my lifetime. Furthermore, my AT&T internet service is very reliable.

    Wow! Like I said, I know few people in my life that have your set up and only one TV in the whole house.

    I know I'm in the minority, but I have a complete 5.1 HT setup in my bedroom with a 60" Samsung 3-D Plasma, Oppo 203, Roku Elite and 4KATV.
