Streaming prices are out of hand. What are cheaper alternatives?

How long would it take to watch 1 TB of video? A lifetime?

Haha. That depends on a few factors. If you're going to the highest fidelity possible, you could fill 1tb up with about 20 UHD movies at ~50gb each.

A single bluray movie will run around 50GB and full TV shows can easily be 100s of GBs.
