Even in this poorly made comparison shot I made you can tell the difference between streaming and "self hosting"

Man... Im watching Stargate sg1 with my kiddo. My Plex server is down for a bit.. so I switched over to prime for an episode or two..
It's dark, it's audio is horrible, it's 4:3 formatted it's horribly compressed and it has commercials.
Talk about a poor viewing experience.
Not watching is better than watching...
SG1 was shot in 4:3 until like season 8 or so.
SG1 was shot in film and mastered in 16:9. 16mm in the first 3 seasons, 35mm 3-7, and then they moved to digital HD cameras season 8 onwards.
Many shows from the 90s were [edit: shot on film]. That's why you can get a widescreen HD release of Seinfeld, among others.
That's not always a good thing. If it was meant to be 4:3 the extra space on the frame can have set rigging, lights, microphone booms, and in case of stunts even crash pads.
It's one of the reasons the HD rescan of Buffy:TVS sucks. That still needs a proper 4:3 HD remaster.
SG-1 was meant to be seen in 16:9
