With the recent password sharing crackdown, I decided to ditch my Netflix subscription and try piracy. What I miss about Netflix is scrolling through content and finding something to watch. With piracy I need to know exactly what I am looking for.

So I am wondering if it's possible to have a Netflix like GUI but powered by piracy? And as this is the pirate world, it shows shows and movies not just from Netflix but also from the other streaming services? And finally it is available on TVs ( Samsung tizen in my case). Something like this would be the best case scenario. Wondering if someone has a similar setup?

"Discovering the best budget-friendly streaming services has been a game-changer for me. If you're looking for cheap streaming options, my go-to page has a curated list of affordable platforms. Say goodbye to expensive subscriptions and hello to quality entertainment without breaking the bank! Check it out!"

Everyone always recommends the torrent solutions, plex and the arrs, but unless it's something I'm really excited about or want in extra high quality, I find it's easier to just use the browser streaming sites. In Firefox with ublock there's no ads, it has subtitles for multiple languages loaded automatically usually, and a nice ui that shows most popular show/movies, and has a good catalogue. There's lots to choose from, I think the guide has a list, but the ones I use are:

Bflix.gg Hdtoday.cc Fmovies.to

Quick, simple and painless.

My set-up doesn't include a smart tv ... I specifically stayed away from buying one because of the monitoring they can do on my usage.

So mine is a good LCD > HDMI'd to my laptop > running a good VPN > links to multiple streaming sources that offer everything from live sports to new movies/TV shows.

Been running this way for over 20 yrs now and it works for me.

Yeah, problem is if you want a modern TV, you don't have a choice. You either get a smart TV or suffer

I bought second-hand and got a wicked deal (cause they thought the audio was gone, but for me it a quick fix). :)
