I want to say to my family: ditch . Ditch . And don't buy any more smart TVs. It's all 'd up the yin-yang anyway. But they will reject that advice. Is there any for any decent streaming services?

@resist1984 I've faced the same issue before, but am not aware of any such services.

What I *am* doing is looking for good movies & shows I can find outside of Netflix, et al & listing them online. Unfortunately my family rejects the audio adventures & old movies I'm finding...

@resist1984 Oh, I know what to advise: Go to realhouse.com , shop for movies for them, put those on a USB stick, (give that to them as a gift), & plug it into their TV.

Almost everything on RealHouse is DRM-free, but you'll buy each movie individually. There's also Vimeo On Demand but I've had worse luck there.

This is probably the best you can do...

@alcinnz that link is bad.. do you mean reelhouse.org? It sounds interesting. I have no problem paying for something that's -free

@resist1984 Yup, I've just double-checked!

Can you toot about any you particularly enjoy? I'm trying to decide which I want to buy first when I've got money for it...
