If pirating tv/movies was as easy on Apple TV or a gaming console as Netflix is, I would drop it in a second. I’m paying them exclusively for convenience and to fund my laziness.
I’ll be honest, there’s some fiddling, but you can run a jellyfin server from a laptop/desktop pretty easily for home streaming.
If you can find your way to the jellyfin-server installer for your OS, and point it at a library folder, just putting media in that folder is all you have left to do–it pretty much takes care of the rest, and all streams over your local home network.
You also can take the lazy and cheap way out, transfer some files to a flash drive or external hdd and plug it in to the console/tv, most have USB ports now.
Never had a high-seas site autoplaying. Just saying.
well… ads, maybe
uBlock Origin takes care of that.

I’d just put any old laptop in place of each lol
I’ve honestly given that some serious thought. A mini pc or laptop as a dedicated media server or streaming device wouldn’t be a bad idea at all.

Currently using stremio with the torrentio plugin on a Chromecast. Works so smoothly you might forget its pirating
