I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is working.

So now I’m here pirating a show that should be available to me through a service I pay for. Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.

Really depends on the service. I find 4K streaming from Apple and Disney are “close enough” to my Blu-rays I can’t tell the difference unless I stick my nose up to the TV. Now, Max? Hulu? YouTube? All “4k” garbage is so low bitrate I need to take my glasses off to enjoy it

Close to your 4k blu rays? Because regular blu ray discs they play on regular blu ray players don’t do 4k.

If you’re comparing to regular blu rays, you’re not comparing to 4k.

Edit: what a strange reaction to this comment… I imagine the average American would not know that they need a different DVD player for 4k DVDs.

Was just trying to be helpful by clarifying. Guess I’ll just go fuck myself.

Edit 2: is it really that hard to understand my point? Dude said that his 4k streaming looks way better than blu ray. No specification of 4k blu ray, so I just wanted to clarify for those reading the thread, that yes, 4k streaming will look better than a regular blu ray 100% of the time. No shit.

Maybe instead of being a dick with your responses, you could have just clarified your original comment to be clear that you were comparing apples to apples (4k stream to 4k blu ray). It would have taken two characters added to your original comment (“4k”), yet instead you chose to be an asshole.

And no, it’s not obvious to a lot of people.

I’m obviously talking about 4K Blurays, why would I compare 1080p that makes no sense.

Yes, which was the point of my comment. A significant number of people have no fucking idea that they need a different DVD player to watch their 4k DVD in 4k.
