Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap. (www.businessinsider.com)

I migrated my whole media setup to Stremio earlier this year, it is a fantastic bit of software.

I pay a grand total of about 40/year (for RD and an app I use to stream to on different devices). Theoretically could probably swing it for nothing, but 40 USD is well worth the convenience and improved UI. I know people who pay more than that just for one month of streaming subscriptions.

Can I ask what app you use? I currently just hook my steam deck with stremio’s linux app to my TV and it’s clunky.

I have a real-debrid account (that’s 30 usd/year) and I use the infuse app (10 usd/year) to access things I’ve synced onto my Apple TV. ATV isn’t the best way to sync stremio content, but it works with this setup and I don’t need to buy any new hardware.

I’ve considered setting up a streaming server at some point, but it works for the time being.

Nice, thank you! I currently use RealDebrid and Stremio, looks like Infuse is the missing link I need to get this running on my apple tv. Thank you!
