I've really leaned into renting. I turned 50 this year, and I have started asking myself "do I need to own this, how many more times will I watch this before I die?" before I make any decision.I really like TrackZ's videos. I hope that K is watching his suggestions and taking notes on what the customers want. What we are doing is a service for Kaleidescape. Instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on Market Survey, it's all here!
The D2D was one of the biggest reason why I joined the K family. Until I realized that you need an Alto player to catalog your movies. J's suggestion to have an external bluray drive to catalog movies is spot on. I don't even mind paying $200-300 for a Kaleidescape-branded optical drive with only that function. Especially since I already own hundreds or thousands of physical media. I won't even bother counting because I'm scared to find out how much I spent these past 20 years collecting.
Storage space? There has to be a better solution than buying more Terra storage. Spending $5k for 6TB of storage or buy 250 movies (at $20/each)? Assuming I splurge and buy another 6TB storage that can hold 100 4k movies. Assuming $20/movie, that's $5k + $2k = $7k for just 100 movies. Translation: $70 per movie. Yikes! The good news is that this is a perfect restraint for me as I would spend days contemplating if a movie is "worth" my extra storage space. I was tempted to buy all 4 seasons of Handmaid's Tale for $70. Heard it was good. But is it worth 6% of my 6TB storage space? It's not sponge-worthy (Seinfeld joke).
With the Strato C being able to download a 4k movie within 10 minutes, I don't really need to download all my movie files into my Terra Server. But I would love to be able to view all the movies I purchased without the need to download them into my server. Maybe by having a tab that says "Movies Not Downloaded".
Finally, being new to K, I do like the community and I'm amazed how helpful Jim (cinelife) is.
Awesome! And thanks so much for the feedback!@TrackZ Just to say that I stumbled across your YouTube channel by accident whilst researching Kaleidescape a fair few weeks ago.
It actually helped me come to the decision to become an owner.
After that I suddenly realised I must have watched in excess of 15 or so of your videos on various subjects so subscribed.
I obviously like the content you produce but moreover the honest opinions and ideas you share. Very refreshing these days and looking forward to more content so keep it coming. Highly recommend anyone that hasn’t to check it out and subscribe. Thanks.

Awesome video as usual.Just tossing this video up into the thread, FYI. I'm planning on another big K-focused live stream next Wednesday with a familiar face.
If anyone wants my PSD files with the quality overlay icons, I uploaded them somewhere on the forum a while back in another thread but can’t locate them right now. I’m on my phone now and don’t have access but am happy to upload these to anyone who may want them… just DM me. I’ll also try and remember to circle back and upload them here.
