I canceled my subscription right after I got that email. I don’t use it enough anyway. I’ll just sail the high seas if a new show that I want to watch ends up there.

That's what happened to me too. I got that email and was like "oh shit, I'm paying $16 for HBO and I can't even get 4k?" Cancelled.

Oh shit I didn't know that last part.

That was an easy cancel.

I didn't notice Atmos was gone until now. I have an ok Atmos system that works pretty great on the titles that support it. I love Atmos.

I get it free with my Internet service so I'm not cancelling, but I'll never subscribe.

Right? Who'd want to pay 16USD a month for DVD quality video? You'd get more value digging out of the Blu-ray Bargain Bin once a week.

DVDs are 480, but your point stands. It's straight too expensive to not include 4k.
