Last year, Google TV lost the ability to purchase shows. In recent weeks, we’ve noticed that Google TV is not letting you buy some movies.

Have you not heard of Google's legendary ability of ditching products? If you were able to buy those movies, how do you think that would go when it closes down?

I've spent a huge amount of money on YouTube movies/TV shows. You don't even have to wait till it closes down!

I moved countries and they took away my TV shows. Then I rebought some and they took those away too claiming it was from the other country. Turns out after I swapped countries, I decided to buy two seasons of Rick and Morty while on vacation (I like watching things on planes). Strange because I didn't pay a different currency price or nothing. Customer support is so bad. Also, I bought mostly 4K and can't watch it in 4K because of some browser limitations.

Anyways, my Plex server serves me just fine now.

I hear you. 😁

Neighbour has a Plex server and I'm building my own storage.
