Do you still use DVDs/BluRay?

I could buy a machine for my TV but I doubt I would use it much. My TV has a recording feature where it will record to any old HDD. That should give me plenty of things to watch if there's not much on. I would stream but can't get this new TV to connect to my wi-fi - it works fine with my phone's hot-spot.

I also think they look messy/untidy, either DVDs in a pile on the floor or on shelves. And I've no wish to keep something once I've watched it.

Re: Do you still use DVDs/BluRay?

I do yes - I have box sets of all my favourite comedies & TV programmes and my favourite films. I get much enjoyment from them.

I keep them on a special stand & they don't look untidy at all..

I don't have a TV - so - yes, I do use DVDs - have quite a collection of them - all stored tidily on shelves in the hall, according to category.

No I do not have any DVD’s, I do have a few CD’s of photographs in a drawer, but just record/watch things on TV. I never watch something twice, just as I do not read a book twice.

Yes I have a load of DVDs that I like to watch, and several Box Sets some going way back to the 70s and 80s.

Re: Do you still use DVDs/BluRay?

I prefer to have something tangible so I would rather have DVDs than something downloaded onto a hard drive, only to get lost or corrupted. There isn't enough quality programmes on TV for me to record anyway.

Re: Do you still use DVDs/BluRay?

Hundreds of DVD's here. Films & music. I managed to convert my DVD player to all regions as I have a lot of American films/series too & they were region 1. I watch films every week. I'd be loath to change my DVD player, unless you can now get all region DVD players.
