We all don’t want to, and that’s just a fact of life. For those that still want to, but recognize the battle, this needs to be talked about. Here is what I do, from a comment at the bottom:

1. buy a chrome cast device and plug in your tv. This way, you can cast any tabs from your laptop to tv directly. This includes sports and movies. Quality is not the best, but it is often pretty good

2. I use Bflix.to for any movies or tv shows. It updates almost same day, with new content, and has a searchable database. I love it! Also, you don’t need to download anything or fear viruses as it is a streaming website. I don’t use one, but you can use a vpn if you are worried. I am yet to get an email from the internet provider about pirating, since I am not downloading files

3. for any live sports, I use both nbabite.com (this has all sports options once you enter) and v2.sportsurge.net

4. make sure you download ad blockers, otherwise it is a total pain with random pop ups. I use both ad block plus, and ublock origin.

By doing this, I get literally all the content I want, from every streaming service, and all the live sports I want. Stop paying them a penny, and do the same.
