Hindsight is 20/20.
Although, it takes not al that long to rip a dvd to your PC with free software, and often you're even allowed to do this "once" legally in some cases.
A completely different friend used to take 700 mb avi movie's off the internet and then spend an hour converting and burning the files into 4 gig .mob (?) files, so that she could watch pirated media on regular older DVD players, rather than spending 60 to 80 dollars to buy a new media player that could play avi movies.
I came to the conclusion a while back it's the pretty boxes on display that are important and not the media itself.
We are vain.

Screw cloaks and badges, you want a nice coat from the pelts of their feet.
As to media, people don't feel the same pride in a collection when it is invisible.
WE ARE SO VAIN!

I once had as my sig in another life, "you're so vain, you probably think this post is about you."
My local science fiction club used to host screenings of new episodes of Star Trek.
I rarely attended, but there was at least a hundred of us in a rented hall huddled around a small TV watching Broken Bow at least a year before it screened on TV.
I think the FBI warning label on home moves says that it is illegal to screen these movies/episodes in front of more than 10 people, so be careful how you advertise any such themed gathering.
But yes: Communism.
Some of you rent the hall, some of you cater and some of you get the media sorted.
It takes a village to watch Star Trek.

I first saw Enterprise at a con (The Andorian Incident), it had been downloaded and there was about 80 people happily watching it on a big screen. Had yet to air here.
The Baku are creepy, like most Star Trek utopias.

The Space Channel (in Canada). I don't get that channel currently; had to cut back on expenses when my rent went up last month. However, I will likely get Voyager on DVD some day.
I used to work in the theatre, and much preferred musicals to dinner theatre. At least with musicals, the audience is actually paying attention to the show instead of sitting there, stuffing their faces.
Just tell them that you decided to make a contribution to some worthy charitable cause, and therefore donated the wedding meals to the local food bank/soup kitchen/whatever.
Just don't advertise where anyone can see it. Back in 1987, "Encounter at Farpoint" premiered the same day as our SCA group's annual Harvest Feast & Tournament. Later that night, after we'd had the event and finished cleaning up the church hall, about a couple of dozen people - still in medieval garb - crowded into one of our members' living rooms to watch the show, which she'd recorded on her VCR.
I use a crystal ball! 
Since I am in the states my first stop is Hulu and then YT(which is iffy).

OH that is diabolical and dependent on no one actually checking if you have done so.
The best part is you don't tell anyone this until they have shown up to the wedding, having bought your dvd's. You announce it at the "reception" and then leave the local pizza delivery number up on the photoscreen in case anyone has a problem with starving.
Anyone nearby with a couple large Pizzas, is more than welcome to come over and copy whatever from my hard drives.
Netflix has all of the trek series. That's where I watched all of DS9 and now I'm going through TNG on there. I've seen TNG on scifi semi recently.
Netflix draws lines across America dividing the deserving from the ####s.
Regionally they offer different catalogues.
Internationally they don't offer shit.

Please don't assume everyone gets what's on American Netflix.
Canadian Netflix offers some of the movies, but NONE of the series. Canadians cannot access Hulu or cbs.com. YT is hit & miss, and one never knows when a kind uploader's account will be zapped.
March around in the cold out side as many supermarkets as you need to for a year, until you have 50 thousand signatures demanding that your local TV station plays Voyager 5 nights a week at 5 pm.
