I don't see anyone selling those pre-recorded with TV shows

cheaper per GB than those stupid Blu-ray things. All the
more reason to torrent stuff you've already paid for if the
studios won't replace your legacy media with new media
which you can still play.

collect. I like having the Doctor Who Blu-Rays on my shelf
but I don't actually need them to watch the episodes. (The
new 'extras' are cool but they're not essential.)

LP's went out of fashion decades ago yet every big shop
seems to sell records now. So did they go away and come back
or did they never really go away at all and it was the
record collector's that kept the format alive? (I've also
noticed cassettes back on shelves too...) Whilst
downloading/streaming is popular, there will always be a
niche market for the fans of physical media so I reckon
DVD's will outlive me!

I dare you to install an operrrating system without a physical

 Why would I want to do something techy like that when there's
clever IT specialists around - like you - that could do it for
me... ?

Never needed to install anything from physical media on my iPhone, which in any case Apple won't let you do.
