So I did something very radical. I have been with Netflix since 2002 or so. When the company started streaming around 2008 I canceled my DVD plan, bought a first edition Roku player and have been streaming ever since. However, I am getting tired of the fragmentation of the streaming options these days. Yes, streaming is very convenient but I often have to subscribe to a service just to watch a show I want to watch. Certainly not the version I had in my mind when streaming shows first started.
Anyway, I bought a new DVD player and just today subscribed to the Netflix DVD plan again. Sure the picture will not be as high quality as streaming is and it might not be as convenient but I do have a wider selection of what I want to watch since most shows and movies that are offered on all the other streaming platforms are offered in the Netflix DVD plan. I signed up for the 3 DVD's at a time option and will consume my media like I did in the 2000's. I'll see how it goes. Worst comes to worst, I can always cancel the DVD plan and go back to streaming.
