    JA> I bought it on iTunes and it has special features too...   
      
    AK> Is that the digtial download?   
      
   Yes - when you buy something on iTunes you 'own it forever.'   
   You can download it, watch it, delete it, decide in a year   
   or three you want to download it again - it's still 'yours.'   
      
    AK>  I don't have any experience with those   
    AK> since I don't do streaming.  My Netflix is Blu-ray / DVD Only and my   
    AK> computer is just that computer with HDMI output to the speakers in the   
    AK> monitor, no big sound system on it.   
      
   I don't have a big sound system either. :-) I can watch on my computer   
   or I can stream from my computer to my Apple TV box that is hooked    
   up to my television.   
      
   Technically I can watch straight from the Apple TV box, but you have   
   to wait for it to buffer...   
      
    AK> Even my phone is "dumb".  Voice and email only, I had the   
    AK> incoming/outgoing text turned off and no internet cause I don't need my   
    AK> face in a phone all day.   
      
   :-) iPhone user here - I don't 'keep my face in it' all day, but I do   
   listen to podcasts with it, plus I can do email if need be, and of   
   course maps.   
      
    AK> The only time I played with digital downloads were with one moive that   
    AK> came with the option for DD.  I put it on the "D" drive, the computer   
    AK> died, and when I put the old date drive in a new computer the movie   
    AK> would not run because there was no license for it on the new machine.   
      
    AK> I was not about to go out an repurchase the movie again.  Wonder how   
    AK> many people have lost all their moives that way?   
      
   That's why I use iTunes - you 'own' it forever and can redownload as needed.   
      
      
   ... Crying over spilled CONDENSED milk would be useful.
