    Thanks. They must have added that ability when they added the profiles. Know that didn't use to be the case.

    well you said it came with 5 additional logins. And the blurb Kevintensity posted said that you can share your six memberships with "family or roommates."

    Then the google guide said this:

    If you've purchased a YouTube TV membership, you can create a family group to share your membership with up to 5 people at no additional cost.

    To join a family group, you must:

    • Be 13 years of age or older and have a Google account
    • Live in the same household as the family account manager
    • Live in the same country as the family account manager
    • Not be part of another family group


    But if you use it, I'll obviously take your word for it. Just find their wording clunky.

    The biggest thing I’ve seen when it comes to sharing the accounts is it is set for the account holders location. For example I let my kids use my account and they’re in another state and they can use it but they’re stuck with my local channels.

    Smoothstreams has not been so smooth on Kodi as of late. Thankfully my TV can surf the web so I can just pull it up there.

    Back to the abusive relationship with cable. He says he's changed!

    It's like a Kodi add-on for streaming movies and TV shows. Except it operates as its own app. So when shit starts fucking up on Kodi it won't matter for Terrarium. Also works with Real-Debriad, Premiumize, and all those types of things. It's a million times simpler than Kodi. You just download the app, install it, and you're ready to go. Though you may need to install a video player, the app prompts you for it at some point though.

    I get an absolute ton of links for what I want to watch, but I do use real-debrid which helps me get a lot more links (especially HD ones). The app does have ads, so fair warning. I think you can pay to remove ads, however, I've never looked into doing it.

    As far as real-debrid goes. I highly recommend it rather you use Kodi or Terrarium, but real-debrid support in Kodi is contingent on each add-on also supporting it. It's 16 euros for 180 days, gives you access to a lot more links, and real-debrid streams will generally download faster so it helps if you have a slower connection. It was a total game changer when I first subscribed.

    Nice little extra benefit of it is that if you are downloading files from premium file hosting websites, having real-debrid will often mean you can download the files like a premium subscriber to the file hosting websites, you just have to copy and paste the link onto the real-debrid website to download it fast. File hosting websites it supports are listed at https://real-debrid.com/compare

    Smoothstreams has basically stopped working via Kodi for me. Works fine on the computer though. Not sure it’s worth the $$ now.

    YoutubeTV came out with apps for roku and apple tv. App is awesome on Roku, feels like I have cable again.
    I upgraded my old ass appletv with a Roku Ultimate and damn I love it.

    Roku not the prettiest UI but it generally is going to have every major streaming or streaming TV app out there.

    Yeah I had a Roku stick 3 years ago or so and was a bit surprised the UI had stayed the same but I like the simplicity.

    It would be my go to streaming box over Fire TV or Apple TV if it supported Kodi or Terrarium. Alas, Fire TV it is because of those.

    I really think I'm going to finally ditch cable after March madness.
