Cool stuff Dave. I have the Blu-ray sets of the original Star Trek series. The thing I thought was cool was that they redid some of the special effects and you could choose which way to watch them or toggle between both to compare. I haven't seen any other Star Trek series but I do have the 4k sets of season one and two of Star Trek, Strange New Worlds. Anyway, Great stuff and info!

I purchase a lot of TV box sets on digital too, because I don’t want to have to rely on expensive streaming services. Let’s face it, streaming prices keep climbing and paying a bundle price for my favourite TV series is worth it.

Same here, it's nice to have favorite TV shows on digital for convenience (and because I watch some series so often over and over). With streaming services constantly increasing prices, it's nice to have other options.

Wow. You get so much more out of streaming than we do. We tend to do the usual looking for something to watch and end up watching nothing. I get Apple TV+ free with my bank account, Amazon Prime Video because we use Prime shopping and BBC iPlayer because it comes with our TV license, but we find there’s such little quality to watch these days. My big recommendation is Slow Horses on Apple TV and I’m really looking to the 4th series starting soon. For TV shows, especially since we cut the cord, Apple TV 4K has been a game changer. Easy to use and such highly quality is very noticeable but the ability to have new episodes suddenly pop up is the best thing. Everything in one place, no separate apps. Just watched Carlito’s Way on Arrow 4K which was a delight. Brian de Palma always amazes me. Have a great week both.
