Usage question - K interface

Apologies if this is the wrong place for the question.

I have only recently begun figuring out how to navigate K. I have a new Strato C/6TB Terra and very quickly have more content than will fit. And have quite a few discs cataloged.

Questions:

1) When I select a title that I own but have not downloaded, I am prompted to insert a disc, which seems to be the same as if a disc has been cataloged. I was expecting to see a prompt something like “Title x is not currently downloaded to your system. Would you like to download now?”
it looks like Download is hidden under Digital Offers which is very counter intuitive. Am I missing something?


2) Is there a way to filter:
- Titles downloaded to server
- Titles not downloaded
- Titles cataloged but not purchased in digital form.

The interface seems to assume I have a physical disc player in the system which newer systems won’t have. Is there some way to tell the system not to prompt me to insert discs?
 
1 - It figures if you had a drive connected to catalog it, the device must still be available, so you aren't missing anything.
2 - Are you asking from the OSD, web interface, or store?
1 redux - You can delete the cataloged titles once they have had a chance to sync with the mothership, if you plan to be digital-only.
 
I have an M700 connected to the system now (powered off) which I will delete when all discs are cataloged. When this is done will the interface stop showing the “insert disc/play disc” options? (that’s what I’m hoping since i want digital only)

#2 - I wanted to do these from the OSD
 
2 - Not automatically, but you could pull off the first via a custom collection. The middle & last ones would require not deleting the cataloged entry, thus leaving you susceptible to Insert Disc prompts, as category membership are not currently retained on deletion.
