      Get a VPN after canceling Amazon and download whatever you want. Mullvad is much cheaper than prime video.

        You don’t even need a VPN if you live in a country that doesn’t care

        Sonarr + Radarr + Transmission-OpenVPN + Ombi + Plex.

        For the past ~5 years or so, I’ve had the choice of a polished web UI to pirate any movie or TV show on demand. Up until the past few months, I have still paid for:

        • Netflix
        • Amazon Prime
        • Apple TV+ (as part of Apple One)
        • Disney+
        • YouTube Premium

        because their products and recommendation engines were more user-friendly for my family and I. Since the pattern of price gouging in the last 6-12 months, I now subscribe to:

        • Netflix (cancelling this imminently)
        • Apple Music (Apple One cancelled)

        I hope the shameless cash grabs result in a mass exodus of users and really hurt these platforms.

          I’ve recently reached the point where I could barely afford some of them if they were as good as they were a year ago. Seems I’m sticking to the Seven Seas and my downloaded music library.

        How do I do that on my TV? Is that a thing? I’ve got whatever the cheapest “smart” TV was in Walmart maybe three or four years ago with a Roku attached.

        Not terribly savvy in these matters.

        Thanks

        Edit: Looks like I can do it via my router. I’m away for the weekend, so I’ll look into this next week. Thanks again for the idea

          Yes Mullvad does have router configuration files. It’s only like $5.33/mo. Also your streaming catalog changes based on locations. Like for Netflix, Hulu and etc.
