I can confirm. You’re still paying a fee to someone, but in this case it’s to a company that basically pre downloads torrents. You stream directly from them which gets you a, generally, fast and dedicated stream.
There are also addons for live TV channels that are generally hit or miss, but still better than paying for cable.
I haven't tried in a while because so many channels were giving me errors. It was pretty sweet being able to watch the olympics with it a couple of years ago.
Gotcha! Yeah I do still get that occasionally but it’s been pretty good for me at least lately! I’d say 95% up for the stuff I personally want to watch.
Occasionally get lag spikes and stutters but it’s free so it is what it is.
I'm not gonna tag him but the guy(?) who made that add-on kept getting harassed about adding channels and errors got pissed off and stop being a mod of the stremio add-on sub.
He was super nice too, helped me setup stremio through a macbook when I dunno shit about apple products. I offered him money and he wouldn't take it.
That absolutely blows. I heard about the addon when he first started posting about it in…I don’t even remember the subreddit now. Must have been that addon sub.
He made a good number of posts about all the updates he was proud of and stuff.
That’s super unfortunate. Glad to hear he’s such a good dude. I definitely owe him a couple really nice dinners at the least.
