== Sourcing your content; 4k blurays with the right drive ==

Because the MPAA &amp; RIAA are a bag of dicks, they have managed to get almost every bluray drive manufacturer to not allow you to make a backup of your own property. They won’t rip 4k blurays.

However, there is a way around this; get a Pioneer BDR-2213 running a [https://www.avsforum.com/threads/ripping-uhd-4k-discs-with-makemkv-instructions-how-to.2942740/page-233 nice old firmware].

With this, you can rip your content in the '''exact same uncompressed quality''' you got it in. This will look so much better than the garbage low bitrate streaming quality you get from modern streaming services.

# Use a smarttv, a device that is [https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics/privacy/how-to-turn-off-smart-tv-snooping-features-a4840102036/ honest to your face that it spies on you and sells your personal data]
# Be stuck viewing a 1-2 mbps low resolution stream.
# Give a giant middle finger to the MPAA with a Pioneer BDR-2213, running old firmware.

Option 4 wins every time.
