We have a way of doing that.

It's called Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyfin and a big fuck-off hard drive, and they won't like it.

But yeah, if there was a service with everything in high quality (up to 4K Blu-ray quality for those with the bandwidth) for like £30 a month (with no ads ever, and configurable UI that doesn't try playing the next episode the millisecond the last one finishes), then they'd get paid for it. The longer they wait, the more entrenched into my setup I'll be, and harder to wean off it.

It's so damn great to just be able to power on the TV and instantly start watching what I want.

No navigating through a mess of a menu. No pre roll ads. No "recommended" content all over my stuff. No thinking of which service has what. It's also a bit faster since I can stream locally.

It must be what it's like to be rich and have Kaleidescape.
