    I am thoroughly enjoying all these comments. But 4k Blu rays are visually, audibly, and aurally superior to streaming. That said, I have seen and heard some pretty darn good rips of 4k stuff, so I’m not even sure anymore. I may or may not own numerous hard drives containing a large PLEX library as well as a sizeable collection of my favorite repeat watchers on 4k Blu ray.

      Storage is so cheap these days, and especially shows are unreliable on where or even if they stay streaming.

      And if you wait till they’re off streaming to archive, it’s hard to find good copies.

      It’s just a prudent choice to get your own copy just in case. Even a short term lose of internet.

      Streaming lowers quality/bit rate to save bandwidth

      Rips play the files from the blu-ray so you shouldn’t suffer any quality differences
