Discs mean too much hassle. I'd have to rip them all prior to storing the movies on my harddrives. Streaming subscriptions are convenient, but too limited and they don't offer the best quality. IMHO, a download option is the best of both worlds.

Bandcamp but for movies and TV would be amazing.

With the role physical storage plays today, maybe consumer tape drives are a niche to be filled. Hard drives and optical discs die.
