0:33
Speaker 2: Square TV?
0:33
Speaker 1: Are people going back to Square TVs?
0:37
Speaker 4: This is crazy? Yes, why? I think for a lot
0:40
Speaker 4: of reasons.
0:41
Speaker 5: I think part of it is they're sick of streaming,
0:44
Speaker 5: you know, just the cost of it.
0:45
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous.
0:46
Speaker 1: The cost of streaming is because initially the cost of
0:48
Speaker 1: streamer is supposed to make TV cheaper and it has all.
0:52
Speaker 5: Right, are our smart TV's are picking up everything that
0:55
Speaker 5: we do, They're they're following us, They're listening it, listening
0:59
Speaker 5: to is, they're building information about it. I think people
1:02
Speaker 5: are absolutely sick of it. Yeah, there's no ads. And
1:07
Speaker 5: I think for a lot of people, like I'm somebody
1:10
Speaker 5: that would love to have Blockbuster back because I.
1:12
Speaker 4: Like old movies. Okay, I love old movies.
1:15
Speaker 5: And so I wish that I still had my VHS
1:17
Speaker 5: tape or my DVD tapes because I would love to
1:20
Speaker 5: watch some old stuff because I cannot find the things
1:23
Speaker 5: I want to watch, nor do I remember what I
1:26
Speaker 5: did watch or didn't watch, So I wish I had
1:28
Speaker 5: like a library still of things.
1:30
Speaker 2: I'll tell you. I enjoyed actually going to the video
1:34
Speaker 2: story me too.
1:35
Speaker 4: I loved it.
1:36
Speaker 2: I enjoy I look.
1:37
Speaker 1: I like being able to have anything I want to
1:39
Speaker 1: watch on demand at the moment because I have that
1:41
Speaker 1: kind of like instant gratification type of personality. But I
1:45
Speaker 1: also really enjoyed the physical process of going to Blockbuster
1:50
Speaker 1: and looking at all the different movies that were out
1:52
Speaker 1: on the shelf that I don't know. If I could
1:55
Speaker 1: just have every movie but I have to go to
1:57
Speaker 1: a store to get it, I'd be okay with.
1:59
Speaker 3: That, right. Yeah, I am one hundred percent somebody that
2:03
Speaker 3: would go back to the old way. I remember. We
2:06
Speaker 3: were the We were the controller. We were the remote
2:08
Speaker 3: control for our parents. You know.
2:11
Speaker 4: That's right.
2:13
Speaker 3: I everything is so over my head, to be honest,
2:16
Speaker 3: when it comes to like smart TVs and computers. I mean,
2:19
Speaker 3: I'm a flintstone girl. I like to write pen to paper.
2:24
Speaker 3: I would rather, you know, have the remote control and
2:27
Speaker 3: have just a few channels and and you can order
2:30
Speaker 3: and have HBO. I do love having Netflix and Prime
2:34
Speaker 3: where you could go, you know, get a movie right away, right.
2:37
Speaker 3: But it definitely is more expensive than what they're going
2:41
Speaker 3: to be. Yeah, we thought we were. You know, when
2:44
Speaker 3: when Kevin decided we were going to get rid of
2:46
Speaker 3: dish and do this number, I thought he said, we're
2:50
Speaker 3: going to save so much money. No, no, no, no.
2:52
Speaker 2: For the first like three months, you did until they
2:54
Speaker 2: all raise the prices.
2:55
Speaker 3: That's right, and then you pay for all of these movies. Yeah,
2:58
Speaker 3: it's unbelievable. So there's a lot of things that although
3:01
Speaker 3: it's wonderful for the world, it's it's progressed us to
3:04
Speaker 3: another level. I'm one of those that's like kind not
3:07
Speaker 3: another thing.
3:08
Speaker 2: You know.
3:09
Speaker 1: One of the things I actually missed more of than
3:10
Speaker 1: anything else is a d v R.
3:13
Speaker 4: Yes, because it's the way that.
3:15
Speaker 1: They record with the social with the streaming, if you
3:18
Speaker 1: want to record a show, that's fine, but with the DVR,
3:21
Speaker 1: I could skip over the commercial and now you can't.
3:26
Speaker 2: They won't let you skip over.
3:27
Speaker 3: They have found a way for their sponsors to make
3:29
Speaker 3: more money, for them to make more money, so I
3:31
Speaker 3: could totally see. I didn't know there was an option.
3:33
Speaker 3: I don't know you could go back to old TV.
3:36
Speaker 3: I don't know that was a.
3:37
Speaker 4: Thing I watch.
3:38
Speaker 5: Well, you can watch just live TV, just your your
3:41
Speaker 5: basic like if you have we have spectrum where we live. Okay,
3:44
Speaker 5: So I because every night I told you I love
3:46
Speaker 5: to watch Magnum p I.
3:47
Speaker 4: I love the old stuff. Is what I like, and
3:49
Speaker 4: it's it's on regular.
3:51
Speaker 1: You lay in there in bed in your parka with
3:54
Speaker 1: Magnificent Magnum with Magnum p I.
3:57
Speaker 3: Here's the problem. Like with direct TV, of course, the
3:59
Speaker 3: DVR A I could see. I could go through and
4:03
Speaker 3: see the guide and see what's on.
4:04
Speaker 4: I knew what.
4:05
Speaker 3: Channel King of Queen's was coming on. I knew what
4:07
Speaker 3: Time Friends was coming on. I could Hallmark shows. I
4:11
Speaker 3: don't get those anymore. Like with the with what we have,
4:14
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's there somewhere, but somebody has to show me.
4:17
Speaker 3: I don't know how to, you know, I can't say oh,
4:18
Speaker 3: okay on channel two twenty two. It's so hard to
4:21
Speaker 3: so hard to navigate. So I end up just watching
4:24
Speaker 3: Netflix our prime.
4:26
Speaker 5: And Netflix seems to be leaning a certain way definitely,
4:29
Speaker 5: And it seems to be. And so that's the other
4:31
Speaker 5: reason that people want regular TVs, because they're trying to
4:33
Speaker 5: get away from propaganda TV.
4:35
Speaker 4: You're being fed certain things.
4:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd rather be fed some some nostalgia, yes too.
4:41
Speaker 4: Else, sure, I bet you. Blockbuster comes back. I know
4:44
Speaker 4: there's still one exists. There is one that still exists.
4:47
Speaker 3: It closed.
4:48
Speaker 2: I thought that was one last one.
4:49
Speaker 3: Well what are they used for. I mean, we don't even.
4:51
Speaker 2: Have they were still renting DVDs.
4:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was just the last We don't have.
4:56
Speaker 2: A VHS player. Now, we don't have a v player now.
4:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to back. I want it back.
5:00
Speaker 2: Okay, TV TV, right, But I don't want to watch
5:03
Speaker 2: the square TV.
5:04
Speaker 4: No, I don't either. I want to TV.
5:07
Speaker 1: I want I want rectangular TV. I want I want the.
5:11
Speaker 4: You like the Yeah, I like the HD.
5:14
Speaker 3: You know, like you're watching a movie in the movie theater.
5:17
Speaker 1: I'd rather if you like it's a movie. Look, here's
5:20
Speaker 1: the here's the thing. Our eyeballs are are set off.
5:23
Speaker 2: In a rectangle. They're not set in a little square.
5:26
Speaker 2: So things are supposed to be rectangled.
5:29
Speaker 1: But it's also why I don't like vertical video on
5:31
Speaker 1: my phone because the eyes are horizontal. Our eyes aren't vertical.
5:34
Speaker 2: I want, I want everybody, everybody, everybody's.
5:38
Speaker 4: Gonna we're doing vertical video on the phone.
5:41
Speaker 2: You've wasted the aspect ration.
