thewayneSony is about to remove programs that people 'bought' via their PS from the Discovery Channel, including Myth Busters and Naked and Afraid. All gone, bye bye. And I would say the odds of getting any money back would be similar to playing an XBox game disc in your PS, i.e. zero.
The issue is the merger between Discovery and Warner, apparently Sony got sliced out of the deal and now no longer has license to carry or resell their programming, which means all that Discovery content that people thought they purchased is going away. They bought a license to view it, and not in perpetuity.
This is why you buy physical media, peeps! I will on rare occasion rent a movie off my Apple TV, but I never buy programming through it for just this reason. You can get a standard Bluray player for less than a hundred bucks, no reason not to have one.

Date: 2023-12-02 10:55 pm (UTC)I was unaware of the software issue, that makes sense sadly. I bought into a Kickstarter for a SAN, I'm hoping it'll deliver early next year. I think I spec'ed a good 30 TB for it, I might bump it another drive when it comes to final delivery. Most of my collection is DVD, though I should dig out my LaserDisc player(s) and see what I can do to capture them - if I have anything really worth capturing.
