Thus, I’ll list how well major services work with all of these devices.

My existing devices include: an Android tablet and smartphone a Roku streaming stick a Chromebook and an HP laptop running Xubuntu Linux.The “walled garden” nature of various services and continued treatment of high definition as a “premium” feature (at extra cost or only allowed on certain devices) are a few other drawbacks of digital videos. However, one thing that still hasn’t changed, and likely won’t in the foreseeable future, is the restrictive state of digital rights management (DRM). I thought I’d take an updated look at the current state of digital video stores. Yes, DVDs and Blu-Rays are still available, but their popularity and sales are starting to wane in favor of digital formats. While Netflix, Hulu, and similar streaming services are convenient, some may still want to either rent or buy TV shows/movies. Update (11/25/18): I’ve written an updated post about digital movie stores.īack in 2014, I wrote about the various digital video services available that sell or rent digital videos.
