I want to find out if it is possible to rip blu rays in 1:1 lossless format, with subtitles and everything, included to a PC or NAS (or something else) and be able to access them and stream them to a home theater system in the same lossless quality that a Blu Ray would play in and then also be...

Hi everyone. First post. I am using Xfinity wireless connection and an old LCD tv with no smart function. I have HTPC doing the streaming but not satisfied with the performance so looking for a streaming media solution. My BluRay players are old and failing so I will probably replace them with...

I just discovered an audio commentary by Bill Condon as part of the Vudu Extras on the digital copy of Beauty and the Beast. Unless it's hidden as an Easter egg in the menus, this is not on the disc anywhere. Why do studios continue to devalue physical media in this way? I am so upset about...

Hey guys, I ran into an issue last night trying to watch the NHL Finals. I have the PS Vue streaming service and the game wasn't available to me, so I started watching it on the iPad via the NBC Sports app. I thought I could stream this to my TV via Airplay, but all I got was sound - no video...

With so many major new streaming channels, I would love to see forum feedback & reviews on the major options. I'm not talking just the biggies most are familiar with like Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Crackle, Sling or Hulu, but the other newer ones that are coming along nicely. What about...

This has started to happen often. I start a program that is in HD or HDR and it starts in a mode that is clearly not even HD. I back out of the program, start from the beginning and it's in the correct resolution. Anyone else having this problem? I'm streaming with my LG 65UH8500.

I just took advantage of Amazon's free 30 day trial subscription to HBO Now on my 4K Fire TV box, and I'm appalled at how terrible it looks. We decided to watch Westworld, and while we like the show the macroblocking, banding, and artifacting the app is throwing out is so distracting we almost...

Has anyone watched this series streaming on Amazon? Done by the BBC. It's like a murder mystery with sci-fi overtones set in a small town in Tasmania. They're calling it in the style of Tasmanian gothic. Has a similar feel to The Killing or The Bridge. I watched the whole thing - 8 eps and it...

Went to watch my UV copy of The Huntsman: Winter's War on FandangoNow, which showed that I had UHD access for this title (I was curious how it fared when compared to the UHD disc). What a disaster! Although I can watch in UHD, the soundtrack that accompanies the film was for Luc Besson's Lucy...

I'd like to get peoples' thoughts on Blu-ray vs. streaming when it comes to theatrical movies. I haven't rented a movie on disc in years now, but I still collect Blu-rays, especially of beloved classics. Why don't I just stream them? I think the image quality is better on disc, even when...

I have decided to go mostly all Digital for my movies due to the fact I am going to be moving to an apartment where space is limited. Therefore, I simply must organize and keep things more modern without the bulk of storing all my physical media. Having said that, I find it hard to get good...

Hi, I never watch TV, but for years I watch Youtube, Netflix, BBC player etc. on my laptop. I finally have some space in my new apartment and want to get something to primarily watch videos on it, but don't want to buy a TV if I'm not going to use the TV function anyway. The following...

The competition of Streaming VOD providers is getting interesting. While some have closed shop (RedBox, Target Ticket), others have been acquired and/or merged. Fandango recently acquired both M-Go and Flixster (as part of their acquisition of Rotten Tomatoes), rebranding M-Go as FandangoNow...
