Jellyfin, kodi, openelec, emby and plex are currently the best self-hosted media streaming platforms. Just attach some hard drive with your vacation videos, ripped dvds/blurays, other owned content and you can have your own service that is only available in your local network at home, for free, with whatever quality you want. One benefit is that this will still work in the rare occasion that your ISP screws up and knocks your neighborhood offline. The downside is you have to have sufficient storage and need to acquire your media yourself.
