#TARGET BLU RAY MOVIES TV#
I would like to access TV channels in Canada and Thailand. In spite of trying several times I haven't as yet managed to find it useful at all. It is supposed to over a search option - but that doesn't work.
But apart from being able to access a limited number of TV channels in the USA (apart from some in the UK) is others TV stations are a bizarre mix and very limited. I bought this as a package with other software. Not yet this year, but it won’t take long… Categories General Post navigation
Like vinyl records, Blu-Ray will therefore become a niche market in the foreseeable future and disappear from the living room. The next Xbox from Microsoft will probably no longer have an optical drive. And further manufacturers are about to leave the Blu-ray market. offers are now simply a better alternative to Blu-ray. In addition, a FireTV can als mobile.o be used mobile.Ĭonclusion: Netflix, Amazon Prime & Co. For comparison: A FireTV Stick from Amazon with the same technologies is already available for about 35€. If you want to support 4K, Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos, you will pay several hundred EUR more. Ordinary Blu-Ray players are available from about 100€.
Blu-ray discs can also scratch and then become worthless. With streaming providers, you can watch movies spontaneously and on almost any player. A Blu-ray must first be bought and if this happens online, it must also be sent to the consumer. If you “just” want to watch a movie, the streaming services are simply faster. With Netflix, even in 4K, the size rarely exceeds 10 GB.
#TARGET BLU RAY MOVIES MOVIE#
A movie on a Blu-ray has a size between 15 and 50 GB. All streaming services, for example, reduce picture and sound to the smallest possible size to save bandwidth. No other medium currently allows such good picture and sound quality.
#TARGET BLU RAY MOVIES PLUS#
Of course, a Blu-ray is still the non plus ultra, especially for audio and picture enthusiasts. A Blu-ray always costs several EUR more than a DVD. Despite the significantly poorer quality, considerably more DVDs are still sold than Blu-rays. In comparison to the DVD, the Blu-ray has never really prevailed. There are many reasons why the Blu-ray is actually no longer up to date: Instead, Samsung developed its own standard HDR10 – which was quite cumbersome for the consumer. The fact that the Dolby Vision standard is not supported by the manufacturer’s current players certainly contributed to Samsung’s decision. The fact that current models of the Xbox Blu-ray can also play movies (after the aberrations with the HD DVD) does not make the market any easier, especially for Panasonic. Sony, above all, because the Playstation can also play Blu-ray. After the withdrawal of Samsung, the Blu-ray player market will now be dominated by Sony and Panasonic. Therefore, the fundamental question is whether a Blu-ray player is still up to date at all. This announcement is particularly remarkable because Samsung produced the first 4K capable Blu-ray player about two years ago!
Existing players will at least continue to be sold off. And at least in 2019 the company will not introduce any new devices worldwide. According to Forbes, Samsung is discontinuing the production of new 4K Blu-ray players in the USA.
