I dare them to cut me off. Every dollar not spent on streaming will go to selfhosting and piracy.
You should spend that dollar on self-hosting and piracy anyways, it's a better value.
I know this. Decisionmaking among extended family is rarely so simple however.
God, ain't that the truth. Getting my mom to give up Netflix was like pulling teeth. When people are used to something, they never want to give it up. I still haven't gotten her to drop cable, but I am essentially her DVR now, for all intents and purposes.
It's been a fun evolution though. My parents and extended family all use it now, and my mom keeps asking me why I don't make money from this stuff. Had to explain to her that selling pirated material is a 'dick move' plus I didn't wanna put myself out there like that.
Not only that, it's a better product.
I pay for Fubo because I can't find a way to watch my team's games any other way. If I record something like The Daily Show I have to use their skanky interface to scrub through ad breaks. If I add the show to my Sonarr I get it shortly after it airs with the ads removed already.
What sport? I might be able to help point you in the right direction
Thanks!
Football/soccer, specifically EPL, cup and Champion's League games. It's the only thing the *arr apps don't seem to be able to get.
Ah sorry brotha, no help from me on that. I don’t watch much football/soccer, and if I do I just use sportsurge
No worries, thanks anyway!
or for the people who don't want to selfhost and like the convenience of a streaming app Kodi + Pov addon + Trakt +Alldebrid subscription
It's such a daunting thing. I used to Plex everything, but it became too much. There were ISP letters too. Does someone have a dummy's guide?
