Use PLEX, buy dvds, and copy them onto your PLEX server. It satisfies all of your listed requirements.

Yeah if you have tons of free time and want to watch the same DVDs over and over.

Some of us don't have that much time anymore (I did run Plex when I was younger, though). I'm either willing to pay about $$25-$30 / month for a few services like HBO and Prime without commercials*, and available in demand, with plenty of quality series to keep my 1 hour / day TV habit satiated, or I'll just take my ball and go home. Cable TV and $100 / month for 30% commercials is something I can and will live without.
