    Question About Upgrading

    Jim There are so many reasons it is difficult to know where to start. I guess the best place is to explain why I bought a system 10 years ago and the value it brings to me and my family. I was simply looking for an efficient movie jukebox that enable us to watch our movies in high quality...

    QUESTION for Premiere Owners

    I wouldn't wish to move to the Encore system for all the reasons mentioned above. I like being able to watch and listen to old DVDs and CDs etc. I like the option of buying content from any source - not just from the K Store. Also, importantly, I like the RAID system. I am in an area that does...

    Disney One-Day Sales

    This one day special seems like a pretty dumb promotion. Why buy any of the Disney titles if there is a chance it will be half price tomorrow?

    Thank You All

    Donnie said it perfectly above. Easily the best, most responsive company I have ever dealt with. Great products and great people. I am so sorry it has come to this. I wish all ex K staff the very best for the future and I hope this story is not yet over for you and for us, the loyal customers. J

    Forum Transition for 2016

    Josh While not a prolific poster, I have found this forum invaluable over the past few years. Many thanks for all your hard work in establishing and maintaining it. And I cannot think of a better person than Jim for taking it on going forward. Best J

    Kaleidescape Store Redesign

    New studio too it seems. Anyone heard of The Orchard?

    Kaleidescape today announced the launch of a new product line called Encore

    My (very ill informed) perspective on this is that no company can ever succeed if they treat their existing customer base with contempt. So I can only imagine the premiere line will continue to be supported for many years to come, with further developments as they become technically possible. I...

    Kaleidescape today announced the launch of a new product line called Encore

    I am sure that must be right - his insight and generosity has always been one of the things that make this forum so pleasant and useful. Which is why the radio silence is so unusual.

    Kaleidescape today announced the launch of a new product line called Encore

    Where's Jim? No sign of him since Thursday. This seems odd. Any guesses what has happened? A - he's on vacation B - he's not bothered by the news C - he's been busy behind the scenes finding out what the hell is going on and hasn't found out anything useful to share yet D - he's so devastated...

    Mozaex?

    Sounds like a great product - a shameless copy of Kaleidescape without the legally imposed restrictions.... Until you read the disclaimer in very small font that says "*While Mozaex is shipped with licensed decryption software that is used to play back optical DVD and Blu-ray discs, it may not...

    Kaleidescape now charging to scan unrecognized discs

    This has the feeling of a business plan that is changing more rapidly than planned as a result of this settlement. It sounds like their focus now has to be on developing the US store - which will presumably grow rapidly now that they have reached a settlement - but which also means that...

    DVD CCA appeal "settled"?

    So here is a suggestion from someone unencumbered with any knowledge of the applicable laws. Perhaps K should relocate to Europe or Australia. As I understand it, in most of Europe - and for that matter, the rest of world outside the US - the fair use legislative environment either...

    DVD CCA appeal "settled"?

    Thanks Jim - more info would be great. But my point is that there will be no support for anyone if there is no Kaleidescape.

    DVD CCA appeal "settled"?

    This is interesting news, but I am not as sanguine as many on this site about the prospects for Kaleidescape. My fear is that they have been forced to take a huge gamble. For K to succeed after November 2014, they will still need to sell their products to new customers and not just existing...

    The Kaleidescape store and 2 K systems

    Interesting. So this clearly has nothing to do with my adding a second system and everything to do with the store changing the terms on which upgrades are offered. Thanks for your help.

    Canadian download store now open.

    Congrats to our Canadian friends! It would be interesting to know how many titles are available in the Canadian (and US) stores. In the UK store, after 4 months of operation, there are only just over 400, with only a dozen or so having been added since launch. And inexplicably, titles like Cloud...

    The Kaleidescape store and 2 K systems

    I have recently added a second K system to my K store account and something odd has happened. Instead of having 30+ options to upgrade from DVD to BR quality, I now have only one. If I now want to upgrade I have to pay full price, apart from the one DVD quality title which had UV rights...
