After that, 4k support will vanish, enjoy the price increase! Also, Dolby Atmos audio will also go away after that 6 months, too. Streaming services truly are a race to the bottom now, aren't they? I've already cancelled. Back to the high seas for me.

Yup. Those farts don't understand that the only reason streaming took off like it did is because it was more convenient than piracy and cheaper than cable TV. That's no longer the case.

and piracy has become easier than ever; with the Plex and the *arr suite of apps (plus a VPN), it's become a completely automated process to create your own, custom streaming server, and for cheaper than paying for several streaming services.

Radarr/Sonarr and it’s many friends. Look into Swizzin or Saltbox as solutions

Welp. I had them with FiOS but since I moved I no longer have FiOS and so no more Max either, but I'm much less disappointed now.

The new app is terrible and challenging to navigate.
