    Early Releases -- Apple vs Kscape

    Same reason my business get first crack at new products before my smaller competitors even know about them. Money talks. In this business, volume is the name of the game.

    Browser Interface & Flash

    Understood, but most businesses like to keep up with technology and keep their products somewhat up to date. HTML5 is not rocket science, nor is Java.

    PROBLEM DISC: Anyone ever tried to import a double-feature Blu-ray disk?

    I appreciate the explanation J. I have a new disk import issue: Enemy (2013) BR. Title shows in guide, but only shows"play disk". Blank screen when attempting to actually play movie. I deleted and reImported, but still no cigar. What's up with this?

    Insurance Coverage?

    My philosophy is that insurance is not a 100% eliminator of risks but rather a safety net to take much of the sting out of a catastrophic loss. They are betting you will not have such a loss, and you are buying a premium to cover your bet that you will. I take a large deductible and invest the...

    Insurance Coverage?

    High end insurance underwriters such as Chubb or Pure handle these kinds of values and typically will have higher base coverage to start with. But you will still probably need to put your gear on a schedule to get better coverage limits. I've got over seven figures in my setup and theatre...

    Browser Interface & Flash

    This is not a hardware issue, but I was not sure where to post it. When viewing my K system using the browser interface on my iPad, the Flash player error message appears in red at the top of the page. This is of course since Flash is largely obsolete and there is no support for IOS devices...

    PROBLEM DISC: Anyone ever tried to import a double-feature Blu-ray disk?

    I did replace the cover art. So if I rename the title to reflect both movies, I will lose "Guide-sync"? What exactly does that mean?

    PROBLEM DISC: Anyone ever tried to import a double-feature Blu-ray disk?

    I recently imported the disk: The Yards / The Lookout (Miramax Double Feature) [Blu-ray]. It appeared in the catalog as a completely different movie (From Dusk Till Dawn), and I did verify the disk and playback as the double feature. I did notify K, and they partially corrected the issue. It...

    How much DVD playback delay: Disk Vault?

    That has been my experience: about 40 seconds delay.

    Coming up next - place your bets

    I'm fortunate enough to get copies of all BR disks, new and legacy, free of charge. (Yes, legally obtained media). But for the rest of you, I'm happy that K will soon have more studios!

    K Delay!

    Great update Jim. As you know, this is excellent news for me.

    152 sales per day does not quite even qualify as a rounding error.

    Is K showing anything new at CES 2015?

    USA Household Broadband Download Index (averages) Although my business is about as far from A/V as one can get, being an eCommerce pioneer, I've always paid close attention to the Internet bandwidth landscape in the US, since it puts the butter on my bread. When and if K enters the streaming...

    Is K showing anything new at CES 2015?

    Comcast just initiated some improvements in speed in my area-- actually quite substantial (I was very pleasantly surprised after seeing what they wanted for running fiber). So for basically +$10 cost I have now been bumped up to 50Mbps. For just $250 one can now get 150Mbps which I think would...
