Much easier. Stremio with the Torrentio and/or MediaFusion plugins. RealDebrid is like $3/mo, don’t even need a VPN. It works pretty much identically to one of the corpo streaming apps, and it has everything in one place!
Only thing with stremio is that the tv app has been crashing a lot recently-- I moved over to Nuvio (which can import stremio addons and watch history) and am very impressed with it so far!
I haven’t really looked into live TV options with it, which I’m feeling more now that it’s football season. I might have to check that out, thanks for the rec.
I’m annoyed when i decided to ditch pirating and go legit, only to find out legit cost more to do, limited in whatever i wanna watch, and will be taken down. Gaben is on to something when he said it’s a service problem.
I’m excited to go back to piracy. I’m hoping things are easier in 2026 than even I last did it 20 years ago.

Another option is Usenet with the *arr suite. Super easy program flow.
Only that you pay the same in HDD costs as for a billion streaming services, these days, to feed another billionaires pockets 😢.
But at least you decide when, where and under which conditions you watch your media.
I can’t help but notice your use of “another” rather than “an easier”
I find these easy, but I’ve not used the other mentioned software, so can not say whether easier or not.
Um yeah, that’s what it does
