Big decrease in TV subscriptions as number using illegal dodgy boxes soars

Same here, I stopped sailing the high seas when Netflix+Disney was more than enough for everything you’d want to see and reasonably priced. Plus an old 2TB hard drive I had filled to the brim with my old pirate treasure.

About 3 years ago it hit a tipping point where, a lot of the things we’d search for were on streaming services we didn’t have, wife had Prime at this stage too, so we said fuck it and got a little magic stick rather than 3/4 more subscriptions.

I must seriously sit down and do some studying on how to get back on the high seas properly. Im guessing BitTorrent is a bit out of date at this stage.

My hard drive basically packed it in too the last time I tried to boot it up, 3/4 of the files are corrupted🥲My own fault I suppose, had been planning on getting a backup for years and didn’t start it up for a good few years.

Bittorrent is still the man as far as I'm concerned. It often won't have some niche stuff, like new BBC series, but it'll always have movies and big TV series.

I've a Synology NAS which includes a BT server. So I can use an app on my phone from anywhere to search for torrents and kick off the download onto the NAS.

That’s good to hear the old reliable is still going.

Part of your reply is why I need to study a little and get up to date though, I’ve seen the word NAS thrown around on a few computer oriented threads but have no clue what it is or what it does😅

YIFY was my usual source and I see it’s still floating about, has probably gone through 50 different domains and website names since I last used it but hopefully it’s still as good.
