CordCutters is a place for those who have cut the Cable or Satellite TV cord, and want to know what other legal services are available. No piracy talk please, it could get the person posting it in trouble with the authorities and could get the community banned on some servers, so please only talk about products and services that are legal to use.

I actually consider pirating movies I have the rights to stream just to cut down on advertisements.

Yup, since a specific subscription I already pay for started inserting ads randomly into their programs, I've added a second 16TB seedbox to my house. Now if I hear that someone at home is interested in a particular series, or that an old program has been added to the service that someone wants to watch, I just queue it up for download and watch it on the TV using the VLC app.

Why refrain? Go for it

Literally convenience. Before ads it was just easier to stream the shows.
