HMV's Blu-ray and DVD sales growth attributed to streaming platforms and collector demand.

HMV boss Phil Halliday says Blu-ray and DVD sales are back in growth despite the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+. The retailer's "physical visual" business has experienced a resurgence, with collectors driving increased sales. Halliday attributes this to the growth in streaming services, increased uncertainty over which films and shows are on certain platforms, and rising subscription prices.
