With the recent password sharing crackdown, I decided to ditch my Netflix subscription and try piracy. What I miss about Netflix is scrolling through content and finding something to watch. With piracy I need to know exactly what I am looking for.

So I am wondering if it's possible to have a Netflix like GUI but powered by piracy? And as this is the pirate world, it shows shows and movies not just from Netflix but also from the other streaming services? And finally it is available on TVs ( Samsung tizen in my case). Something like this would be the best case scenario. Wondering if someone has a similar setup?

    My set-up doesn't include a smart tv ... I specifically stayed away from buying one because of the monitoring they can do on my usage.

    So mine is a good LCD > HDMI'd to my laptop > running a good VPN > links to multiple streaming sources that offer everything from live sports to new movies/TV shows.

    Been running this way for over 20 yrs now and it works for me.

        Just don't enable any network connections, and it's just a big monitor.

        I bought second-hand and got a wicked deal (cause they thought the audio was gone, but for me it a quick fix). :)

      You can have a smart tv and not connect it to the internet or lan. My workaround was to attach a computer and use the tv as a monitor.
