I know it's terribly difficult for some tech people to envision other people having other use cases than your own...but here's an easy one for you: cross country trips in the car. can be nice to have some video for the kids.
Yeah, well, my wifi portable NAS has 2T of well, just about everything in the world (6000 45 minutes episodes at normal speed, 3000 movies) ... That I've loaded up (but, kids listen to the same thing 100 times straight so you don't really need all that much). That's a hell of a lot of children's programming BTW; by the time she'd gone through that drive, she'd be ready for high school probably. I think I'm covered if I go cross country I don't have to depend on the whim of T-Mobile and anyone else really.
I often just leave mine in my purse and connect to with whatever device I have at the moment.
Live video is not really something I need all that much; that's the only time were getting a LTE makes any sense to me. The nearly 100% drivel on youtune I can wait to see that.
Well, ok, but not everyone pirates material. Some of us pay for our media, and don't care to purchase "just about everything."
We have unlimited 4G LTE family data on TMob, and there's very little reason to connect to wifi, in general. My oldest son has cranked trough 33-36Gb in a month a couple of times by streaming ESPN on the bus.
YouTube is not throttled on any of our devices when connected LTE. I'm seeing a clear 1080p on my phone.

as I said, it's hard for some of you to envision other people (non techies at that) having different use cases than your own. I don't know anyone with a wifi portable NAS in their purse.
How is it less techny to stream things cross country, The disk sits there.. You copy things to it like any other disk ever. You're telling me people can open an App, yet can't possibly copy files on a disk; how much tech knowledge does that require? My mother's 70 and she does it handily, Once on the disk, it's not more "complex" than opening youtube and playing whatever. No wonder some people things millenials are considered "technies" if all it takes is going beyond operating an app on a phoen to reach this level.

I've bought about 1200+ movies over 20 years and bought about 200 seasons of whatever (like 10 seasons of Friends). That's about 4000 episodes.
Then there is what I've web ripped straight off broadcast which is pretty debatable if its pirated or not since it's pretty much the equivalent of recording it with a VHS (I'm not sharing it). I'd wish they took me to court on that one so that could be tested.
I've got about 1000 hours of torrents out of 10000 hours of TV.

Got something else?
Native DVD resolution is 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL) - so 480p is NOT sub-DVD quality at all. It *is* DVD quality.
Nobody considers 480p to be HD. "HD" is commonly used to refer to 720p, 1080i and 1080p with 1080p also being called "Full HD".
