    I had been steadily pirating for a while but I kept my satellite package for sports. They recently upped the price by $10 which was enough to finally push me get one of those non sanctioned IPTV subscriptions. I am paying about a tenth of the cost now. I wish I had switched sooner!

      Do you need a VPN just to watch? I always use a VPN if I’m seeding torrents from my PC, but don’t really want to connect my TV to a VPN.

    Just remember that some of us have to plunge the cutlass into our wallets so that others may sail. Seed, please.

      Imagine if it was crowdfunded? It’s like account sharing with extra steps.

    In a better world, content would cost the same to all streaming services, all content would be available everywhere, and competition between services would be based on price and quality of service. You’d subscribe to one and get everything.

      It should be like music. You can sign up for basically any service (Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, etc) and generally hear any song. It would be ridiculous if each record label or whatever had its own streaming service, so why are TV & movies different?

    Did anyone else get the email that said Max is reducing its adfree tier to 2 screens instead of 3 and no more 4k? I just got it yesterday.

    Cancelled.
