A microwave is what I do when in my carriage riding among the masses.

  The Royal microwave!

I want to buy a TV series but it is not available on Blu-ray. Why do they do this to me?

  Is it at least available on DVD?  I don't have a Blu-ray player, so I must settle for DVDs. 

DVDs have noticeably inferior quality.

  It's as if I'm living in my own little poverty-stricken subcountry, watching my inferior product.

Be brave! We need to talk about this instead of suffering in silence!

Hey you guys.  The PR and her friend are on the cutting edge of a new entertainment medium:  VCR tapes, but only Disney ones.  Yep, we have a giant CRT TV, a VCR player and most of the Disney classics.

The redbox nearest my house has been defective for weeks, and I'm too lazy to find another one.

Is that a post box?

It's a vending machine for movie rentals.

Oh I have seen one once. Before the shopping centre that had it underwent major renovations.

My remote control (or the little box that receives the signal) has a delay of about half a second. That's a little bit annoying when you're in a hurry to mute some sudden loud noises on the telly. For instance the start of a commercial break.
