Thanks, Carrie! Our SONY dvd player from 2012 stopped supporting the you tube app. We did get an Amazon Fire stick so I can get you tube on the tv.
The problem we have with using a USB is that our desktops computer are old and don't have the memory for downloads. My DH uses our laptop for work, so I can't take up space on that for workouts. Sherry

I'm fine with streaming but only if I can get a good deal on it like I did on MyYogaWorks or YogaDownloads - $19.00 for a full year's subscription. I also got a Barre3 year's subscription at a good rate.
I don't need to own a physical DVD and I don't really think of it as a drain on my funds. I think of it more in terms of a service that's provided to me - like my electric bill. I pay for the service I use, but I don't have anything physical in my hands to show for the money I spent. Naturally I prefer downloads, but I'm OK with streaming.

I think the video and DVD market used to be sustained by impulse buyers, people who felt they needed to lose some weight for summer and bought a Fonda or Jillian video thinking it might do it for them. Today they can see those videos for free on Youtube, which has probably killed a lot of the retail market much like music sharing took a large bite out of music sales.
I posted an LA news segment recently where Mike Donavanik and Phil Dozois said the DVD market pretty much died, and millennials want a more custom, personalized fitness experience through apps, fitness trackers and classes.

Right now I am trying to regain access to workout downloads/lifetime streams I purchased a few years ago. The company was bought or rebranded, and I can't access them anymore. So unfortunately, the smaller the company, the riskier the purchase can be. Paying monthly streaming fees might cost more eventually, but there's less risk that you will be left with technical hassles, emails, and a sour taste in your mouth. |
