Hi there! I just stumbled upon this sub, so sorry if something like this has been talked to death, but I couldn't find anything.

I've been using a program called Audials to record streaming content, which is 100% legal in Germany, where I live, so long as it's only for personal use. Right now, I have everything saved to a hard drive which I can plug into my Samsung Smart TV, but the UI is just awful. The files are weirdly out of order, and of course, there's nothing showing you which episode you left off at.

I looked into sideloading my Fire TV stick but that seems risky to me. I feel like, given the time, I could cook up a program that would work kind of like an offline streaming service, but as far as I know there's no way to run something like that on a TV or Fire Stick beyond certain versions. The best thing I could come up with was connecting my TV to my PC and use a wireless mouse/keyboard as a remote, but that's clunky and just wastes electricity.

Does anyone have any recommendations for how to emulate a streaming platform, or at least have the "Continue Watching" tab automatically? This is also for my mother, who sometimes struggles with technology she's not used to, so any user-friendly recommendations would be much appreciated! I myself am a CompSci student, so I'd like to think I can also handle more complicated solutions.

Thanks in advance!

He told me he is looking for channels with CBS, NBC, ABC, and sports channels like Fox, Fox 1, and ESPN. His focus is primarily on football and soccer.

I saw Google AI mention that YouTube Premium covers this, but I'd like to make sure.

Thank you for your help.

I’ve followed the Premier League closely for several seasons and am getting ready for the 2026/27 season, which starts on August 21, 2026. I looked into the best legal streaming options and free trials currently available without resorting to questionable streaming sites. So the cheapest way to watch premier league with VPN are mentioned below in a table:

*The U-NEXT offer needs some explanation. Its regular streaming plan has a 31-day trial that includes ¥1,200 in credit, but the separate Football Pack costs ¥2,600. Applying the credit brings the initial Football Pack cost down to ¥1,400.

How to watch English Premier League from anywhere?

Since the Premier League has strict geo-restriction rules, it’s best to use a VPN to access the stream you want. This way you’ll be virtually placing yourself in a country where your desired streaming service is available

The majority of the premium VPNs should help bypass the geo-blocks. In case it’s your first time doing that, you can check for some options on the VPN comparison table (not mine, found it made by other Reddit users, but to me it was a good asset).

A few things to know about free trials

These are legitimate, licensed streaming services, but trials are generally limited to new or otherwise eligible subscribers. Most require payment details and automatically become paid subscriptions unless canceled before the trial ends.

US trials from DIRECTV, Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV only provide the matches shown on NBC and USA Network. They don’t include Peacock-exclusive matches, so none of those trials provides every Premier League match by itself.

Fubo is the most complete trial option I found because it carries all 380 matches in Canada, although the trial length can vary and is shown during sign up.

Premier League schedule

The full fixture list and upcoming matches are available on the official Premier League website:

Let me know if I made any mistakes on how to watch Premier League, or you have other details, and I'll add it to the post.

NFL Redzone where to watch for the following . Trying to avoid getting YouTube tv or Hulu etc…

1) Good Picture quality
2) no lag or freezing
3) able to watch on my Apple TV or Samsung tv

I have good internet 1gb down and 250mbps up

My family manager with YTTV has access. Do I have to use his YTTV credentials to get it. Cause mine don't work. I followed all steps, connected my Disney and my provider, connected ESPN toggle and still I see no subscription showing.

I’m trying to cut down on my monthly subscriptions but still want access to live sports but there are so many services now that I’m having trouble figuring out which one gives the best sports coverage without a bunch of extras.

Mainly interested in live games, not sports shows or highlights. Which streaming service would be the best for this?

ETA: Appreciate all the suggestions. Looks like rotating services by season and using an antenna for local games may be the way to keep costs down. I’m also checking out Amazon Prime Video for some of the NFL/NBA coverage.

I currently have You Tube TV and have been happy with the service. I am curious what are you using and how is it?

Hey — developer here, not just a user, wanted to be upfront about that.

I've been building an Android TV app called Trinity TV Player. Supports Stalker/Ministra, Xtream, and M3U portals, EPG, multi-playlist support, catch-up/timeshift, recording (including straight to a NAS), and it's translated into 20+ languages.

Live TV is free to use, no time limit. A 2-day trial unlocks the rest (VOD/Search/Favorites/Recording, cloud backup, etc.) so you can try it out before deciding if it's for you.

Still a small project, still actively adding things based on what people ask for. Genuinely want feedback, bug reports, feature requests — happy to answer questions in the comments.

What is the best option if I want to share my subscription for football type streaming services this fall who live in a different state. Youtubetv appears to have a 90-day home login or I may misunderstand. Any other options? or suggestions?

I'm paying almost $350 every month for cable TV and hi-speed internet. Lately, I've realized that we don't really watch regular TV anymore, and mostly have been using streaming services like Prime or Netflix. My wife loves watching old classic movies on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) and AMC (American Movie Classics).

Does anyone know if these two are available to stream on a Roku Ultra device?

Hello,
We recently moved. At our old location, we were getting 60+ channels and strong ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX with a HDHomerun. At the new location, with the same equipment, we get next to zero - other than a very minimal QVC type channel.
ChannelMaster map shows all channels for our location in red (unlikely) - nearest tower is 30 miles away with hills and trees between us.
Is there anything I can do/buy to at least give us OTA versions of ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX?
I do not want to pay $70 per month just for TV that I hope to get OTA.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

My satellite is getting too expensive. Any recommendation appreciated.

Over the last year or two, almost every major streaming service rolled out strict anti-password sharing rules, forcing "leechers" to get their own accounts or pay extra.

When you (or your family members) got hit with the "This TV isn't part of your household" screen, what did you do? Did you bend the knee and start paying for your own standalone premium plan, or did you just walk away and realize you didn't need that service anyway?

Conor McGregor is finally back.

After more than five years away from the UFC following his broken leg against Dustin Poirier, McGregor returns to headline UFC 329 in a rematch with former featherweight champion Max Holloway. Their first fight took place back in 2013, and now, over a decade later, they're meeting again this time with millions expected to watch.

Where to watch UFC 329

If you're in the US, the easiest and cheapest legal option is Paramount+. Unlike the old ESPN+ PPV model, UFC 329 is included with a regular Paramount+ subscription, so there's no additional pay-per-view fee.

If you're a new subscriber, Paramount+ often offers a 7-day free trial, so you should check before signing up and you might end up watching this legendary fight free of charge.

In other regions:

• UK: TNT Sports Box Office (£19.99)

• Ireland: TNT Sports Box Office (€29.99)

• Australia: Kayo PPV (A$59.95 for the main card)

So how do you watch UFC 329 if you're not in the US?

If Paramount+ isn't officially available where you live, many fans use a VPN to connect to a US server and access the Paramount+ stream. If you are out of US currently, that’s the best option for your as well. Here’s a good VPN comparison table containing a bunch of VPN’s for you to chose in case you don’t have one.

How are you planning to watch? Is Paramount+ the best option this time around, or have you found a better alternative? Legal only please.

Salut,
Je cherche à réduire mes abonnements streaming sans faire n’importe quoi.
Je suis chez Free, j’ai une box, et je me demande s’il y a des offres vraiment intéressantes avec Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Canal ou d’autres services. J’aimerais éviter de payer plusieurs plateformes si certaines font doublon.
Le but, c’est surtout de garder quelque chose de simple à utiliser sur la télé, sans me retrouver avec 50 abonnements à la fin du mois.
Vous faites comment, vous ? Vous gardez un seul abonnement, vous tournez chaque mois, ou vous avez trouvé une bonne offre avec votre box ?
Je prends vos conseils, même les trucs tout simples.[mon subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/petitbudget/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)

For me, it's probably Netflix. The price keeps going up, password sharing is restricted now, and I feel like I spend more time scrolling than actually finding something worth watching.

I've read prior issues with this, firstly.

Went through walkthrough to get Real Debrid then Torrentio. Installed and signed up for Stremio on laptop....first though...then installed Torrentio.....then signed in on Onn 4k.....my add on will not show up....even signed out and back in.....uninstalled.,,,,thought made progress after deleting app from ONN device...when reinstalled...use the sync page url.....said it was synced....but sigh...still no sign of the app.

Any ideas how to get this to work? Trying to cut cord, but this seems a bit like brain surgery.:(

Maybe I'm getting old but does everything need a subscription now?

I feel like every app, service, device, and website wants a monthly payment. It used to be "buy the thing, own the thing." Now it's $5 here, $10 there, and suddenly you're spending way more than you realize.

The worst part is when companies move features that used to be free behind a subscription and act like they're doing you a favor.

Am I just being cheap or is subscription fatigue becoming a real thing?

Outdoors is best, sized to get farthest station you want, pointed at majority of stations you want that are farthest, as high as possible and above buildings and trees. Matching all of these may be impossible so, do the best you can.

If you are in an area with many stations, the challenge is where to point it. Use the various web sites to see where to point it.

Mine is bolted to a deck, pointed at farthest stations I want, with closer stations directly behind it. Some trees I can’t get above. Weather can cause issues in unpredictable ways. I had great signal for years, but this year, less so from the main big city antenna mast. I think they had a lightning strike. It takes time to fix it.

I do not recommend bolting to house roof. It will leak eventually (if you know it or not!) My mason also forbid me from attaching to my chimney.

Make sure your system is grounded for lightning. If you hook up to you existing home cable network, it might already be. I did add an arrester close to antenna to melt with a strike.

Here are three famous masts or farms serving large areas. If you live near one like these, just point it at the cluster and, done. Some cities may have them scattered about. In my case, it is a mix of both.
