Pirate Netflix (discuss.tchncs.de)

With the recent password sharing crackdown, I decided to ditch my Netflix subscription and try piracy. What I miss about Netflix is scrolling through content and finding something to watch. With piracy I need to know exactly what I am looking for.

So I am wondering if it's possible to have a Netflix like GUI but powered by piracy? And as this is the pirate world, it shows shows and movies not just from Netflix but also from the other streaming services? And finally it is available on TVs ( Samsung tizen in my case). Something like this would be the best case scenario. Wondering if someone has a similar setup?

My set-up doesn't include a smart tv ... I specifically stayed away from buying one because of the monitoring they can do on my usage.

So mine is a good LCD > HDMI'd to my laptop > running a good VPN > links to multiple streaming sources that offer everything from live sports to new movies/TV shows.

Been running this way for over 20 yrs now and it works for me.

Dumb question: Is the video resolution limited by the laptop display resolution? What if LCD has a higher available resolution?

you can set separate resolutions for your laptop's built-in screen and your external display, unless you're just mirroring the display to both.

If I'm streaming a 4K the resolution is limited by my non-4K tv. Other than that the resolution is dictated by the stream itself (ie: some are DVD quality, some are low res for those who have poor bandwidth, etc).

Many of the streams I access show the size of the file stream so you can choose the best one for you.
