A few months ago I fired directv and posted a thread asking about streaming services.....one fFreeper suggested I just use every streaming service for the free week then turn it off before the first billing cycle.

Then go through all of the free weeks again using a different email address.....just keep changing the email address and never have a bill. LOL!

While devious, underhanded and probably borderline illegal it was brilliant just the same. 😏

Don't they keep track of your IP from your broadband provider?

I check out videos from the local library, TV series like “Heartland” (great family series, 16 seasons now and still going). It’s free, just need a library card. The best part is I can order what I want online, and they call when it’s ready for pick up.

How do you know the companies aren’t tracking you through your IP address and sharing it with others? I am not saying that that is what they do, but I believe it is possible.

Libraries... books, free videos, audios, from libraries are free...good stuff for free on Tube and other carriers
why have 500+ channels of 95% garbage? And pay for it? Defund those purveyors of garbage. I use my money for something constructive.
