Streaming is the future of media


It’s time  to sell that collection of DVDs  that are  gathering dust

The problem With collecting physical media is that it takes up room, something that many of us don't have enough of. Due to internet speeds steadily increasing around the world, the idea of streaming is now entirely plausible and a very real alternative to the gargantuan collection of movies and CDS you may own. Through apps like Google Play Movies, users now have access to a digital library of downloadable movies that they can safely store on their device, or in the Cloud, and stream them in a matter of seconds. Plus for those Who Iike to play around With codec and audio settings, there are numerous video players on hand to help you out. If you haven't checked out VLC Player yet, we implore you to do so. But if money is tight, then arguably a digital library isn't an idea worth exploring, and instead the world of subscriptions should be your port of call. Millions of us around the world have invested in a Netflix subscription, and rightly so. All-you-can eat movies and TV at your fingertips that costs yol less than a price of a cinema ticket? What a bargain. One of the best things about this sort of streaming service is that you can partner it With one of the many HDMI sticks on the market to get the content on your TV. Both the Chromecast and Fire Stick cost Iess than E35, and provide a seamless way to bridge the gap between devices and media that can be streamed. Physical media sales are declining, so when will you switch?
