Most people can't download. All they know is pay, and watch. You can explain bittorrent until you're blue in the face and get nowhere.

The single exception is if it's something they really really want. Like old hockey games or something. Then they'll make the effort...but sometimes not even then.

Why bittorrent? There's dozens of streaming sites if you don't use google to look. I've already watched Masterchef UK, US, and Australia this way.

I saw an advert on Facebook for Sky and some of the top comments were cord cutters who were advocating for things like the Firestick and an IPTV subscription. I think with the economic downturn following Covid-19 people will be trying new things to save money, similar to how in the last recession many switched to the discounters and stayed.

Is the IPTV cheaper than BBC? I'm too much of a cheapskate for netflix. Until they shut down all the streaming sites, which are as easy to use as youtube, I'll pass. With the streaming method, you could open it on your laptop and cast or hdmi connect it. If you want to browse through channels, there might be something you can do with a android tv box. I was able to install foreign language channels just by looking around tv box discussions.
