    I think I’m going to buy one of those sketchy streaming boxes with thousands of channels.

    That or learn how to download and host my own content.

    Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

    Edit: just realized what sub I’m in. Guess I better start reading up.

      Buy PIA VPN. Look up a guide to setup Plex, radarr, sonarr, and jackett. You can get fancier once you’re comfortable with how everything works

      Like the commenter below said, Streamio is the answer. We use Streamio with Torrentio plug in running on a cheap windows PC and its been very good so far.

      Don’t. They usually have annoying line of sight remotes, buffer all the time, and try to send spam email in your name.

      A NAS or an old PC for hosting Plex and I’m not sure if Nvidia is still updating the Nvidia Shield TV, that one was one if not the best Android TV box
