In December, PBS is all about fundraising. Often the “Thank You Gift” for donating is your favorite show or series on DVD or Blu-ray. PBS has been doing this for years, and people have many series on DVD because of it.
One question people may be asking is why does PBS still offer DVDs/Blu-ray as an incentive to donate? Does anyone still watch DVDs or Blu-Ray? Do people still use or even own a DVD player?
DVDs are dropping in popularity worldwide.

If you want to watch or listen to something 5 years or more from now, best to get it on physical media. “Owning” something that relies on a server somewhere is not really owning it.
