I'm ditching netflix. Suggestions?

[Ho3n3r]

Damn you! Just made my to watch list even longer

Got an email at 04:44 this morning to inform me that the next episode of Suits is available.

Plex on it's own yes,but that's why I have the put.io channel added on my plex,just add any torrent you want into put.io and stream via plex to your tv.

I haven't used too much Plex just enough to see that it plays stuff from your collection and I found ps3 media server did the job without making my life complicated. I dunno that is how it was for me and a lot of people swear by Plex so I'm not mocking it.

Adding torrents to a program in order to play them just seems like such a long winded way of streaming something when you can just use Kodi with Exodus to click and watch the same thing you have to load into Plex.

I do see the merit though last night I was watching Harley and the Davidsons and for some reason every stream was 25mins long instead of 122mins so I had to download the torrent version then only watch, which was a bit of a pain. This could help in a few cases.

Can promise you I am not the only one...they will be thousands...ready on the Getflix FB site how peeved off folks are and the same will be true on other smart DNS services sites. Anyway, I don't really care what they think...wait...you are trolling aren't you! No man

Running out of space though so I either have to delete some apps or find a small MicroSD card.

Just watch local netflix ?

Its getting better every month.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[SauRoNZA]

Dave would suggest DSTV...

Or Showmax...where you get no subtitles or surround sound.

 

[K3NS31]

FYI - another good option for Kodi is a Raspberry Pi 3. Cheap and works like a bomb (one caveat, can't do h265).

 

[fbman]

Dave would suggest Showmax.

Dave would recommend getting a dstv explorer..

 

[bwana]

Dave would not approve of this thread.

Am I the only one currently reevaluating the relationship they have with anyone they know called Dave…

 

[esvi]

Ororo.tv

+1

I've tried everything from Hulu to Netflix and this is the only one that doesn't have issues with me being in South Africa.

All they want is your money. Everyone wins

:crylaugh: I can just imagine all the Dave's in South Africa getting speculative looks from their mates on MyBB.

 

[SeRpEnT]

depends, you want to continue legal viewing Hulu
Other I know is: Watch Episodes

I'm not sure what "Watchepisodes" are as I doubt I can click on the link here at work... But if it is what I think it is, then great boet.... why did you had to go and give the link here? Right now the Multichoice agent/detective/under cover d00s on here is already busy pulling strings to close down that website... *slow hand clap*

 

[maumau]

If OP wants to be like Dave he should be watching DStv on Catch-up.

 

[notinterested]

I've decided to order an amazon fire stick and set up kodi. Unfortunately it's not available on roku. Here are other recommended options, if anyone's interested.

I did look at hulu as an option, but their ad-free service is a bit pricey imo.

And f!@k dave.

Yep I'm also a bit fussy about quality and usually only watch x265 hd rips so this way I get proper content streamed to my TV, I've found most free services skim on quality at times.

Get a Chromecast 2.Best device I ever bought even something as simple as streaming a YouTube video from my phone to my TV is so simple now and what remote control can be better than your phone for internet videos etc?

 

[Pakka]

Something that works really well is automatically downloading with news servers or torrents, using a service like Couch Potato (movies) and Sonarr (or Sickbeard) for series. It usually gets downloaded the same night it airs and you can then watch it through a nice player like Kodi.

If you'd like to rather stream, most will suggest popcorn-time.se, but I believe Stremio.io works better (they have add ons for extra torrent sources).

I have the chromecast 1, loving it. Is there really a difference besides design?

/face palm.

Good Site though

How did you get plex to stream to your TV ? I have been having issues for the last few days now trying to cast to my chromecast. Is it not supported ? I get the option and it picks up my cast but it just hangs there

Out of interest - do all those channels work on the US roku without having paid subscriptions to some sort of US tv/internet service?
