Thank you! I'm going to start looking at the Synology NAS devices. I have one of their routers which I really like so the NAS stuff should be similar (fit, finish, interface, etc.).
Appreciate the comment. The Roku seems to be pretty popular and luckily it's just me, so I can experiment.
Thank you for this! I'll look more at the Synology NAS devices and see what that's all about. I'm probably the other way around, stream more, and emulate once in a while.
Yeah, a sad side effect of the subscription/advertising economy. Current TV has as much of that turned off, that I can find at least. Although I haven’t gone full “remove everything from the network”, yet 🙂
Adding that to my to-do list for research, thank you for the post!!
Yup, I did go down the rabbit hole and read the links and stuff. Interesting reading and something to consider. I guess it's back to a non-networked DVD/Blu-Ray player and get stuff from the local library or Craigslist :)
Appreciate your comment, and that seems like a common setup. If you didn't have the ATV, what would you front end the Plex server with? I have a Synology router and would probably buy a Synology NAS, if I went that route.
If I may ask, what are you using to host the Plex server? I've read about people using NAS devices (Synology, etc. which has Plex available natively) and running a PC with a lot of storage. Appreciate the comment!
One of the concerns is the current state of "privacy" with these devices. Interesting that you can mod the Shield (as mentioned by a couple of others as well). Good to know, even if I get one just to tinker / experiment. Thank you so much!
And with my luck, the day I buy a Shield is the day they announce a new one :) Luckily it's just me, so I'm the only to complain if I do something dumb, ha! I'll start keeping an eye on the Shield, as I'm not in a rush to buy / change.
Appreciate the device info and response!
This was an interesting movie(s) to say the least. You need to watch all of them, regardless if your stomach can handle it 🙂
