I watch a fair amount of series, but I’m not a data hoarder. I see the value in 2GB episodes, but I watch most series on my laptop, my simple 1920x1080 tv or even my phone where that value doesn’t make a difference. If I want to have a theater experience, I’ll go to the theater.

Most of the times I just want to enjoy a good story and relax before I go to bed.

I don’t have infinite storage and I hate when I want to download something new, but Im out of storage, so I have to delete stuff first.

    Your best bet would be to use handbrake and transcode them down yourself. I have a relatively. I’ve setup for my living room and thus want to get the best quality I can. Exact opposite reasons to you but, It’s easy to downgrade, basically impossible to upgrade.

    But that’s my two cents. Ideally, every file is uploaded with both of us in mind.

      I was just going to say, handbrake is a good way to cut back a bit on file size if you get the settings right. It is very taxing on hardware tho.
