The question is if VOD is the future of home entertainment? There's a great deal of free movies to download on the internet and people are unwilling to pay even couple of dollars because of that. The fact that downloading films is a crime doesn't scare people neither. Nevertheless, I think that watching films on VOD is a good thing. First and foremost, the quality of video is a way better than on the free player, secondly, you don't commit a crime, and in conclusion, you give the producers respect by paying at least a few dollars- I confirm, you won't become poor.
Websites vod.pl and kinoplex.gazeta.pl look the most accessible to me. From the first sight you can spot currently popular films and series divided into categories, which makes website very pleasant to use. After seeing available productions like "Lucy" and "The walking dead" I realized VOD is something for me.

This simple, we like easy denouements. Inter alia we use for example kinoplex is VOD service which offering legal watching movies online. All that we are doing for kill time, watching what we only want and of corse for relax. Therefore VOD is the future of entertainment? In my opinion ,,yes", why? because is the great solution to see new movies in a short time. Absolutely young people watch movies online but old people prefer watching television because it is more easy for them. Mostly in TV we watch news and very similar programs on ,,tvp" or ,,polsat" these are polish TV channels. However,many times we can hear from people ,, Oh my God, again nothing flies in the television" and it is definitely true. As if that was not enough in television is a lot of advertisments which put us in anger so if we want have good mood we choose computers and laptops and watch movies online. To my mind VOD is future because it will be developt more and more. More and more people give up the TV.
I don't remember the last time when I watched TV. I use only laptop to see movies, to be in touch with my friends and to acquire knowledge.
Emphatically VOD is days to come.

There is a lot of available VOD platforms on the internet or to buy on TV. Everyone can choose the best website for yourself. In my opinion the best platform is vod.pl or player.pl . On the first website you can watch every popular films and series in every categories. The second platform is mostly contains programs from TVN . it is the best idea for me because I love watching TVN in TV but sometimes I haven’t got time and I have to watch replays of my favorite series.
In my opinion VOD is the best solution for fair people who choose legal way to spend their time on watching films in home.

The biggest advantage of VOD is this, that it gives you a lot of possibility. You can watch what you want- it doesn't mean if episode of your tv series came out yesterday, week ago, or year ago, where you want- in bus on smartfon, in cafe on laptop and in your home with PC, and when you want- you missed your lovely telecast ? It doesn't matter, because you can watch it on VOD. Very important part of that service is this we watch everything absolutely legal, and you won't be afraid of police entry to your home ! Some time ago I really wanted to watch "39 and half", but there was one, huge problem... TVN doesn't produce it anymore ! So what have i done ? Of course I used VOD and I was veeeryy satisfied. You should know that you can do the same as me with almost every TV series. At the beggining of my scribbles I wrote that VOD is good thing, but not quite. I still agree with this, because in my opinion when you watch tv series on VOD, it loses "something". Watching with awareness that it's replay doesn't give us as satisfaction as watching first run.
And i'm sorry that i have to lie with reCAPTCHA, because I'm a robot.

In my opinion this is the future of home entertainment. Why? For example, one of the advantages using VOD is fact that you can watch any film at the indefinite time. You aren't addicted to TV channels and to programmes, which they offer. For me, the best choice is player.pl. This is the place, where I can find TVN's programmes such as 'you can dance', 'project runway' or 'Kuba Wojewódzki'. I often watch these programmes, but when I haven't got time to see or miss out on new episode I enter to this website.
Also a good choice is vod.pl. There are films and series from all species. Everyone finds something for yourself here. More and more people use VOD, because they are bored usual television or just don't have possibility go to the cinema. Easier is buy a film without go out.
Personally I'm the follower of VOD. It's the way to save money and time.

Online video platforms became really popular these day and I'm sure you have already heard about American Netflix or even Polish counterparts such as player.pl or vod.pl. They are user-friendly, have a lot to offer in a very reasonable price... What more could we want? Of course, you can't buy this amazing feeling of watching a movie on a giant screen, surrounded by people who actually came to enjoy the same things as you do, but let's be realistic. It's impossible to have everything.
I think that VOD is going to be the future of home entertainment. It doesn't mean cinemas or the television won't exist anymore, but our laziness, liability to simplify our lifes and attractiveness of platforms like kinoplex.gazeta.pl and ncplus.pl, which contain an impressive repertory of various movies and series made all around the world, may provide a significant expansion of the VOD's idea, which means big adjustments, also these economic ones.

'Video on demand' is the best way to save time and money and arrange your daily schedule properly. The best online video platforms for me is player, because it have in offer a lot of great and interesting films and what's the most important the offer contains programs like 'You can dance', 'Ugotowani', 'Kuba Wojewódzki' and 'Masterchef', which i don't have time to watch in the school week.
In my view best way to watch programmes, series and films is VOD. If we talk about legal ways. ^^
Sometimes i wonder whats new will be invented for the twenty years. Fear to think.

In VOD you choose when and what you watch opposed to TV where if you wont watch your favourite program or movie you must be on time in front of screen. To my mind vod.pl and ncplus.pl are the best platforms. I think that becouse on those two platforms you have the largest assortment of movies and series but this is my personal opinion if you enjoy to watch shows like “You can dance” or “Rolnik szuka żony” you can chose other platforms like vod.tvp.pl or player.pl.
Most important thing which allows me to think about VOD as a future of home entertaiment is still increasing access to internet which is required to use this. To sum up I think VOD is the fastest and cheapest form of watching movies,series or programs which soon should substitute TV.

The television is te biggest medium of the XX ceuntry but all must evolvue or die ... The biggest threat for the television is VOD !Smart TV or Smart TV
So what is the future of modern TV ? Do you soon will massively throw receivers through the windows , and turn down the yard useless , unwanted monitors ? Professor Vladimir Gogołek , lecturer at the University of Warsaw dealing with information technology media believes that the future of television will not be so dark . - I am deeply convinced that television will not die , neither immediately nor even for a long time. Is rather the opposite situation , where increasing the number of viewers . Increased number of recipients is particularly noticeable in Western countries - he says.

For me, "normal" television is better than VOD. I prefer sitting on a sofa, holding a remote in my hand and surfing tha channels to sitting on an uncomfortable chair opposite the computer screen and worring about data transfer... And I think there are more "traditinalists" like me. That's why - in my view -VOD isn't the future of home entertainment.
But if I had to choose, the best VOD platform for me would probably be "kinoplex". Why? Because it offers many films, even the older ones. I don't mind it offers less series than eg. "player" because I simply don't watch them.
