It isn’t. I fondly recall the first pirated blu-ray discs (before the encryption keys were leaked) were copied by script kiddies who had the playback computer pause and print-screen the video frame-by-frame.

Amazon streaming 4K now. I've always thought that all this hype of digital encryption and copy protection was a little lacking. Ultimately it's still an analog medium (you viewing the picture) so it could always be 'copied' at that level. Interpret the signal passed to the actual LCD Panel, "Pixel 1342x975 displaying color E0FFFF at timestamp 58:44:13.221" Maybe I'm naive, but it doesn't seem like it should be that hard.....

It's a licensing issue... that's why "streaming" is OK. Travis On 12/9/2014 7:00 PM, Bill Prince via Af wrote: That 187MB translates to only about 11.25 GB per hour. Why not stick in a 32GB memory and be done? That would be almost 3 hours of buffer. -- bp <part {dash} 15 {at} SkylineBroadbandService {dot} com> On 12/9/2014 4:50 PM, Travis Johnson via Af wrote: It's really too bad that the devices that support all these streaming services can't have a larger buffer. I'm sure it's part of their licensing deals, but if they could buffer 60 seconds of stream (at any quality), they would have much fewer support calls for streaming issues, etc. Using Netflix's 25Mbps for 4k, that works out to 187.5MB of storage space. At current RAM prices, you can buy a 256MB module for $15 full retail... so places like Samsung can probably buy them in quantity for less than $2. Seems like it would be worth it to pay an extra $10 for a TV/DVD/PS4/Wii-U device that could handle 60 seconds of video.

But on my network it tends to burst to 90Mbps then sit around for a while, then burst back to 90Mbps. I think the 4k will require a lot of optimizations before it works on the built in TV’s.
