    4K HDR Titles in K Store Missing Immersive Audio (Dolby Atmos/DTS:X)

    Nice!!!!!!

    Why Do You Collect?

    One of the biggest factors in why I still "collect" on Kscape is licensing issues. We all remember the tremendous demise of UltraViolet, which proved that nobody's safe. MA is waaaaaaay better, but after UV I still get the heeby jeebies from any streaming only platform. I've even had iTunes...

    Star Wars 4K HDR

    Oh, you're not missing out. Evidently they've changed the famous cantina scene AGAIN.

    MGM, Movies Anywhere, and Advanced CODECS

    I'm sure it's great, but is it $34 great when you already own the HD version? Because that's what Disney wants to bilk us for the "upgrade." Really frustrating when they drug their feet getting us many of these films in 4K/HDR/Atmos to begin with, so many of just went all in on the standard HD...

    MGM, Movies Anywhere, and Advanced CODECS

    Yeah. That's honestly why I haven't upgraded a single one. Sure, I'll spring for NEW ones in 4K that I don't already have in my collection, but since even the standard 1080p HD versions look so beautiful to begin with (especially the Pixar films), I've been less motivated than usual to bother...

    Where to legally buy 4K movies and store them on a local 'server'

    I ran across the same issue you did when I had my HT store. Had customers who needed such a solution but couldn't or weren't willing to pony up for K. At the end of the day, I just didn't want to have ANYTHING to do with being the one professionally assisting a customer with what's considered a...

    CEDIA 2019

    I TOTALLY agree with Ghibli's sentiments. Thankfully K addresses their valid concerns on that front. :D

    CEDIA 2019

    Most definitely! The day those are all released, I am 100% on board with buying ALL of them. Forget the TBS/TNT Bond marathons! I'm making my own with a 007 script! Oh, man this is going to be fun. :D BIG congrats to K for inking a deal with MGM. It's on now. Hope I don't max out my CC to fast...

    4K Sale on Store

    Woohoo! TONS of good stuff with this sale. I'm in for a bunch. TRYING (but failing) to keep myself in check. ^_^

    Need screw size for bottom of Strato that attaches rack mount kit

    ^^ Nice! Should be easy enough to find at your local hardware store I would assume. That or a proper computer/networking/electronics supply store.

    CEDIA 2019

    If they brought the thunder like that to CEDIA, they'd hands down "win" the show. Would be epic for them to have a big announcement with "As of today, we bring you our partnership with MA, all audio codecs on disc are now present, and we've reached agreements with all remaining studios." ...mic...

    Movie Extras.. Inconsistent?

    Hooray! Been holding off on an Alita purchase on K due to the lack of both extras AND Atmos. Now that the extras are finally being listed, I'm in for a purchase. Hoping they get Atmos soon too as it's one of the film's best features but I'll take what I can get for now. :)

    Game of Thrones / HBO

    Oh, you better believe it! Haha. Now that the show's all wrapped up, I'm guessing they'll be milking this baby for the next decade. However, I'll be pleasantly surprised if they do come out with some super great box set within the next year or two in case they're trying to catch some of the...

    Apple TV

    Personally, I'd have to disagree. Look at streaming apps on otherwise good devices, like Oppo or Sony BD players. They're just never executed very well and are always a tacked-on afterthought. After all, it's not the product's main purpose so I can understand. They simply don't channel the same...

    Image quality vs. discs

    Oh, yeah. That's probably what's going on, then. I've heard that the XB1's 4k BD video quality isn't quite up to par with the better players out there. Still a heckuva good value that you can get a game console that also happens to play 4K BD discs, so not a bad buy either way, but still not...

    Alita coming in HDR 10+?

    Agreed. DV/HDR10+ has definitely been low on my list of priorities, especially since standard HDR looks pretty darn glorious as it is! MA would be the much bigger game changer for the company. Not saying we would mind or anything if they did a DV/HDR10+ upgrade at some point. Just that it's...

    Image quality vs. discs

    Hmm. Great question. If you're seeing a difference, it may have to do with the specific disc player you're using. I think in general, being that it's a bit-for-bit transfer from the disc masters, K is supposed to be identical, so it probably boils down to the players video processing and perhaps...

    Fridges!

    I know that some brands offer models that have their compressor in a separate location, so you can't much more silent than that! However, I've only seen them in the full size variety. I'll do some digging. They're not cheap, but could be just the ticket. I always liked the idea of them from a...

    Game of Thrones / HBO

    Agreed, and this is precisely what inspired me to start this thread. There's ALWAYS been a significant difference between the initially broadcasted versions and the physical releases, excellent Atmos mixed being one of the greatest benefits. There have been multiple episodes in the past that...
