Honestly, the only reason I have Netflix in the first place is because it came bundled with my ISP. Can't cancel it without phoning them up and I'm much too lazy to do so.

Roku has a great voice search which works across all of the installed apps. I can just ask it for a movie, and it tells me which services have it.

That's why I ask myself "What do I want to watch?" and shop for physical option day or two before. When watching a movie once a two-three weeks like me it's cheaper and I can keep it.

(Now someone suggest just pirating, but I don't pirate movies that promises to be good)

If there isn't a physical option available to you just not watch it?

Umm... 😅 Usually there is, but if not DRM-free digital purchace is as good. If there is only DRM streaming available, then f*** it and start to sail.

I don't know much, but Stremio does a fairly good job listing streaming services for anything searched

torrentio is also really helpful
