Now I just need recommendations. Got anything new and exciting?

Stremio + Real Debrid = bliss

Jellyfin

I've canceled them all and run Jellyfin and IPTV.

Got so sick of paying for literally six of them and still not finding the movie we wanted to watch.

I rotate through them depending what I want to watch, but the one I always stay subscribed to is YouTube Premium.

These days, the only ones I stay permanently subscribed to are independent platforms: Dropout and Nebula. They're both cheap, entertaining, and they feel like responsible companies trying to make a positive change in their industry.

For all the others, I subscribe on a month by month basis when there's something specific I want to watch. I try not to have more than one active subscription at any given time.

Free ones from my public library. They're surprisingly good but there's no trashy reality tv shows or whatever. Mostly wholesome documentaries and classic movies.

Also the state-owned broadcaster in my country has a decent one, although ad-supported.

Stolen Netflix on my TV, 123anime.info on my phone browser. Totally legit. With a good adblocker, of course.

Plex.

Edit: I just remember I also have nebula, curiosity stream and an unhealthy amount of patreon subscriptons. Though that's not exactly "TV" I guess.

None.

Region is Canada. TV is connected to an AppleTV and a media server. Forced to use mostly apple stuff for various reasons.

Free and generally ad-free Apps:

• CBC Gem (free tier but login)
• DW (news/docs)
• France 24
• Al Jazeera
• Kanopy (via library card, all good movies)
• NFB for the best shorts
• Knowledge Network (free in BC)
• Local news channel apps

For self hosted media files I access a SMB share with the Infuse app for a full video player experience. It’s the only subscription I pay for an app, worth it.

Left Netflix last year. Left Prime this year. It’s all shit sandwiches over there.

none. We watch discs.

RaiPlay! It's the online version of Italian public TV and has a lot of good stuff on it, though it can be a bit finicky on some smart TVs

I think that this post should give you a hint: https://lemmy.xaetacore.net/post/985 Also hope that it helps people that do use these methods automate their setup :)

I've got now and Disney. Disney has loads of sitcoms so it's permanent but other streaming platforms I rotate round. Before now it was Apple

Stremio

I just have Netflix and Jellyfin. I figure I'm paying for streaming, if producers want my money they can get it from Netflix.
