I don't even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they're saying....hey do you want a worse experience?

I still get Roku recommendations on plex content from my Apple TV. They are doing content recognition off of the hdmi input

I use a dumb tv. Old 1080I tube tv.

Uff between ads and interlaced content?? I’d still try to find a dumb 1080p…

Interlacing only sucks on progressive TVs because they have to interpolate and scale the Missing information causing artifacting, watching interlaced content on an interlaced television is actually unnoticeable from a progressive display in my opinion, perhaps less sharp, but still.

Unhook your TV from the internet, it does not need the ability to talk to anyone on the planet just to show an HDMI input to you.
