Hey there! I’m looking to pirate sports and streaming services that I can’t afford. Could you please explain in simple terms of how to do this on an iPhone, iMac, iPad, and Apple TV? I’m really exhausted and my brain is blank. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

    First, you buy an eye patch. And maybe some small and energy efficient computer. A Raspberry Pi 5 might even be enough for your first steps. Or maybe some small form-factor PC. Then you install Linux on there and follow one of the various guides for Linux.

    I’m really exhausted

    We all are!

    Yeah use your iMac. Use a VPN. Top VPNs all should work on your iMac. Proton and Mullvad are the top recommended.

    Transmission is the client I use. It’s great.

    You’ll need to find more sites. Pirate Bay is huge, and 1337x is big. Private trackers are the best. You’ll need to wait for an open signup or interview to get started. You’ll need to watch the opensignups subreddit on the R*dot site for signups, unfortunately. Ignore all of these unhelpful bitches who tell you you can’t do it with what you have. You’ll just want to use your iMac for easiest downloading.

        Absolutely! Sorry I don’t have more advice. Definitely check out opensignups at the bad site now, and check it often. IPT has a bad rep but it has a ton of movies and shows and games and whatnot if you can get in.

    Not sure what the best solution for sports is, but the simplest, most reliable option for streaming is a debrid subscription used in conjunction with Stremio on MacOS, Vidi on Apple TV, and Stremio Lite or Vidi on iOS.

    While there’s free websites that aggregate streaming servers for movies and tv shows, their unreliability arguably makes debrid reliability worth the added cost. Here’s a debrid service pricing chart.

      This is the right answer. Also, use the USA TV add on for live US tv

    Look into IPTV. Not sure what the IPTV client situation is on Mac.

    I went with Tivimate on my Android box with Trex IPTV service I bought from Z2U.com.
