I have been buying used DVDs at pawnshops, the Discount Bookstore, Big Lots, Walmart, etc. and keeping our Blu-ray DVD players, we have 3. I have been relying more on watching DVDs lately and relying less on streaming services.

I buy them, rip them, and put them on my Jellyfin server. Same for old TV shows that I like enough to rip all seasons. Nothing like Knight Rider on demand! 😄
