Sorry you're wrong here, you've fallen into a trap of "it used to work just fine why can't it now". Because things change. It's like Analog and Digital, sure to you a VHS and a DvD might produce the same image on screen, but how they got there are 2 completely different and incompatible methods. Like you're rambling on about discs and always on connections without actually bothering to find out if there's a reason these things happen.  For any old media or anything at all really someone has to put in the time and energy to make sure it stays up to date, and are you taking the time to make this happen or just whining that you can't have every single thing you used to enjoy available for free at any time you want?
