We only pirate TV because it's easier and cheaper. If you actually had a catch all service (like old Netflix) for a low price, people would stop. Oh wait, we had that but greed got in the way again...

I used to be perfectly happy with Netflix and Google music + YouTube Red, but corporations were too greedy

I now use a mix of free Kodi TV, patched YouTube apps, rip music off tidal, and self host media on a lifetime premium Plex server.

Just you wait till you see the arr stack (radarr, sonarr, lidarr, etc.)

I tried Lidarr but I find that it is inconsistent enough that it is just a find-and-grab utility for me.

I much prefer ripping tidal tracks on my phone using a tidal-dl in termix and then just using a ftp to my Pi when I get home

FWIW, Lidarr works the worst out of the arr stack for me too. I don't know if there's just not enough well indexed material in my sources or what, but yeah, not great.

If your entire experience with the arr stack has been Lidarr so far, give it another shot! Sonarr and Radarr work absolutely perfectly. It's just such a nice feeling to open Jellyfin (or I guess Plex) on the TV and go "oh nice new episode is out!"

If you're in a private tracker like RED or OPS it works very well, but I agree that public trackers are not well indexed enough

I don't really watch TV much in the first place of my own choice. A few things my partner wants to watch but that's about it. Music I get download with yt-dpl -x, I think that was it anyway as I set an alias for it
