    This is going to upset a lot of those Firestick owners that have fallen down the piracy rabbit hole.

    Real Debrid, which caches and hosts a lot of streamable links to media files, has cleaned up its act. Think Only Fans when it tried to ban porn, it's that but for piracy. The only reason Real Debrid has made it so prolific is off the back of piracy. This will sink it.

    goddamnit. for a few glorious months i had a perfect sea-sailing setup with a chromecast, stremio, torrentio, and real-debrid. it was like if netflix had every movie and tv show known to man and was basically free.

      I haven't used anything fancier than standard VPS and seedbox stuff before so this isn't my area of expertise, but I've heard AllDebrid and Premiumize are the main alternatives.

        I believe they are both EU based and following suit. That seems to be the rumour floating around. A new service will appear, it always does.

    That's worrying news. When I setup my Streamio setup I hummed and hawed between RealDebrid and AllDebrid and went with AllDebrid pretty much on a whim.
    If one is going you can bet the others won't be far behind. I was really happy with the setup as well!

    Edit:
    To add to my point, I wish I didn't feel like I needed this setup at all for what its worth.
    I feel like I'm forced into sailing the seas because otherwise to watch tv they expect me to sign up to dozens of streaming services all at a modest price. And there is no way to easily juggle the subscriptions either.
    If someone threw together some all in one solution (like cable/sky used to do) and charged me one price and/or only charged me for what shows I watched off what services I would be way more inclined. But Jesus lord I don't have the willpower to do all that magement myself, I only want to watch TV.

      When the Sky packages combined is almost £200 a month, IPTV service and Debrid services feel worth it. Between the two you'll get practically everything for about £10 a month.

        Yeah, I agree today it's far too expensive!
