Because I have half a dozen devices, all which get replaced every few years, that all need to be able to access that show. How do I get my show on all those devices without an internet connection and without taking a bunch of my time managing it?
- hombre_fatal 6y agoIf you really wanted that, you can get a Plex server up and running which would likely suit you better since a single show is your deal breaker. Might as well control the deal. But I'd question the need to get TV on all of your six devices just like I'd question the need to get Twitter and Candy Crush on all of them. Maybe get it on 1-2 (laptop, TV usb stick) and learn to be okay with not having 24/7 access to TV. You'd be happier. As some ideas for ways to swap out TV with something more fulfilling, I recently decided to randomly consume some Youtube courses on the works of T. S. Eliot and Plato, of course reading them on my own alongside. It's not necessarily as stimulating as captivating TV or methamphetamine, but I feel like I'm growing, being challenged, and it's damn sure fulfilling. Also gives me something interesting to talk about. (I chose those authors because an older friend of mine knows about them and likes talking about them.)
