Comment Stop streaming! (Score 1, Troll) 42
Streaming is a form of DRM and tracking, which unnecessarily consumes extra resources. You should do it as little as possible.
You can download all the public domain movies on archive.org, you can easily download any youtube videos there's any chance you'd like to watch more than once. You can easily record TV shows broadcast over the air. You can quickly copy to disk any movies you've purchased on physical media, for convenient viewing. etc.
Streaming is a ball and chain, restricting your selection, limiting your options, etc. Never once has a single video, TV show or movie in my collection been taken away from me when the copyright owner decided they could make larger profits by doing so.
And why not? $50 for an iView CyberBox (Android) that includes an ATSC tuner and USB port, and another $60 for a 2TB USB hard drive.
You can quickly and easily build a huge collection of media that actually BELONGS to you, and is at the mercy of nothing but a good electrical supply. In any other kind of major natural (or man-made) disaster, would you really assume you will have uninterrupted internet access? Radio is a nice change, for a little while... but when things are falling apart around you, having your familiar entertainment choices at hand can be a great comfort in unplesant and uncertain times.
