“Prefer to watch on a tablet, so downloading is easier.”
“DVD doesn’t require Internet access, a big plus.”
“I think the DVD is going the way of the 8-track.”
“DVDs take up less space than downloads

“Prefer instant download...easier to store.”
Based on these comments, we do see there’s quite a bit of
interest in DVDs and yes, even downloadables. We’ll be making
TrainMasters TV videos available on DVD and as downloadables
for those who have bandwidth issues with streaming or who
prefer to get a download instead. If you prefer a DVD so you can
enjoy it on your big screen TV, then the TMTV episodes on to
DVD will make this possible.
1 Not quite sure we understand this comment that DVDs are easier to store than down-
loads, unless the author isn’t computer savvy and doesn’t understand how to access
downloadable video using things like iTunes.

Which general video categories do you like best? (ranked)
The most popular video topic category is how-to videos, followed
by layout visits and documentaries. Modeler interviews and event
reports bring up the rear. For comments, we asked if we missed
any categories, and two additional categories were mentioned fre-
quently: product reviews/demos and videos on operations.
