    Remove netflix and just torrent

      can’t really download torrents on Roku. also, that’s stealing. not that you would care.

      @sqlb3rn segfavlt I don’t care either. But Roku has a Plex app. Just torrent and add to a Plex Server. ????????‍☠️

      @Streaming Junkie whatever works for you. I don’t have time to search and download a bunch of torrents every day. most content you can’t even get unless it’s star trek or big bang theory. I don’t have Netflix but that much of my time is worth way more than 13 bucks a month.

      @sqlb3rn segfavlt I don’t agree with you about the “most content you can’t even get unless it’s star trek or big bang theory” I had Justice League within hours after its release. I downloaded entire TV series within minutes. Pretty much anything is available. And it doesn’t take a whole lot of time to track down or download. I can honestly say I spent more time searching for something on Netflix than finding a torrent source since a PC much more efficient for searching than a tv remote. The most I waited for a download was for 15 minutes for a 4K HDR 4 hour – 32GB film. That’s only because I prefer downloading it completely before playing it to eliminate buffering. I don’t torrent every show, I have Netflix, Hulu, & Amazon Prime video. But for that one show I like to watch that isn’t worth paying a full monthly subscription, the opportunity is there. Btw, I only pay $5 for UHD Netflix, so there are smarter ways to get some legitimately ????

    My best Netflix hack was unsubscribing from their repository of boring content.

    One avengers endgame Blu Ray disc from netflix will cost about 3 months worth of Disney plus

    • iyaz akhtar

      March 25, 2021 at 6:57 pm

      Well, that depends on how quickly to receive and send back discs, right?

    There is one think that I hate. For example I have been watching a Korean TV Show Alice and now I have Korean TV Shows in my recommendations. Similar think I have with other categories. How can I remove those “recommended categories”. I have tried deleting my viewing history but that is painful and time consuming. Does anyone knows better way to get rid of unwanted recommendations. I also do not want open new profile because in that case I would lost info about programs I had seen before I opened new profile

    How can you remove “continue watching” without the mobile app?

    • iyaz akhtar

      March 25, 2021 at 6:54 pm

      Let me reach out to Netflix and see if that’s possible.

    I have been using the profile trick for ten years. I have one for psychological horror, scifi, thrillers, true-crime, dark films ; then another profile for comedies, a third for dramas and documentaries; the fourth for raunchy stuff ????.

    The best thing I learned in this video is that Netflix now has Transformers avatars. I switched away from Shiro from their Voltron series to Megatron. So happy!

    Does anyone know how to check and/or set the resolution of currently watched content on Netflix? Something like we have on youtube?
    I know there is some option in the general settings like Low/Medium/High quality, but this is vague.

    • John Gyver

      March 26, 2021 at 11:40 am

      Actually I just found the answer to that: if you’re watching through web browser on Windows, pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + D shows some technical data about currently played video, including the numbers that seem to be the resolution.

    March 25, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    Also, for the people who actually care about video/audio quality . . .streaming can’t touch Blu-Ray. At least not for the time being. You’ll never get audio to stream as high quality as you’ll get it from a Blu-Ray disc.

    A better DVD trick is rent them from your local library for FREE , unlimited quantity

    You can’t get 4K disc.

    if dvd rentals had monthly subscriptions like netflix dvd, maybe they wouldn’t close down

    How can I view the movie description without the movie starting? Its so annoying to get blasted with the movie intro while I’m still deciding whether to watch it or not. Edit-using PS4 app

  29. sty0pa

    March 26, 2021 at 5:23 pm

    Discs often contain extras…but in many cases they DON’T, in the years before I cancelled the disc sub, it was clear that for the majority the offer only the ‘rental’ dvd that doesn’t include extras.
