DS9 on blu ray?

Oh, Deep Space Nine? It's a Star Trek series. You probably haven't heard about it yet.^^
DS9 on vinyl?
I'd buy that.
Fun fact: VHS tapes last about 15 years if you properly maintain them.
It's true - I have deezer elite which is a competitor to Spotify - it streams in FLAC - I am going to cancel it because I cannot tell the difference...
That's another thing - if you want perfect audio the entire chain has to be perfect. Start to finish. If any point of the processing turns it into garbage, then it will be garbage. There isn't a way (yet) to de-garbage it. What's the point of listing to flawless highs, mids, and lows if you're listening to it through a pair of 20 dollar computer speakers?
It's like watching 4K on a CRT monitor.
But only a tiny percentage of the population will ever hear it as "garbage". And this goes back to DVDs vs Netflix. Yes, TNG remastered looks beautiful on the blurays. Flawless. But it looks "good enough" on Netflix. People are paying for the convenience of it, not the perfection. Most people don't even notice artifacts anyway.

Not all MP3s are alike in quality. A low bitrate can make it very small, but it will sound like bad AM radio if it's too low. But a high bitrate from a high quality wav or something similar will yield a pretty decent sounding piece of audio, and will still be a much smaller file than an uncompressed file. So there are a lot of "it depends" at play here.
The same goes for streaming. Depending on what device you're using to stream, whether you're streaming wirelessly or not, whether your connection is decent or not, whether the platform you're using to stream is reliable or not - it can look great or it can look like crap.
That's why I still like physical media on when it comes to shows/movies/music I absolutely love. I can keep it, I can rip it and control the export settings. For most situations though, streaming or downloading works just fine for me.

I suspects that's wishful thinking. After all you would have thought that news that it's happening would have leaked by now. And if they think DSN is too expensive to do, then VOY has even less chance as that is liekly to be more expensive.
One of two things are more likely
1.>The rights for those companies have expired
2.>CBS All Access wants to be known as the home of ST. So if you want to watch ST via a streaming service then your only option is pay for CBS All Access.
Picking up Enterprise on Blu-ray next week, then I'll have everything I want on Blu-ray until Star Trek Beyond hits home video.
Buy double ENT Blu-rays to get DS9-R!
Okay dectuple.
Netflix is losing Doctor Who starting February 1st.

The rumor is that CBS will be pulling Star Trek TV from all online streaming sites by the end of the year so all Trek content will be on CBS All Access. The Trek movies appear to be unaffected.

Mutant X is coming to Blu-ray. Only three seasons, I know, but really!
That's neat and all but if it's upscaled, it's not HD.
That said, it's a good test for what a cheap and dirty "HD version" of DS9 might look like. Minus the "carefully" part, of course, causesometimes often usually there's just not enough money in restoration a professional upscaling project to afford to be "careful" .

Good work.
But I couldn't see myself shelling out another $60-$70 a season for it since I already own the DVD's. The jump just isn't big enough.
I've gotten spoiled watching Star Trek in HD, with the full scale remasters.
