Didn’t have many subscriptions (all US are cancelled) and was mostly eating Canadian food already. Swapping now what else is left … what now? I am so mad at the USA I need something else to take my anger out on.

There's Crave I think? But the deal ain't that great. There's a LOT of ads and they're extremely LOUD.

And the subscriptions are expensive. I'm not going to pay 22$/month just to stop having ads. I don't need the 4k streaming because my TV doesn't have that resolution. Besides I only have a 30mbps internet connection that's already costing me almost 80$. (I should shop around now that I think about it. 80$ is hella expensive for 30mbps)

I have only heard bad things about Crave, if you want you can go to a channels app and watch show the day after they air. If you do not have an ad blocker the ads get repetitive very fast.

Yeah, I was watching it from my NVidia Shield and there's no adblock on there. It's terrible.

I'm honestly thinking of getting some kind of small Linux box for the TV, but I need something that works with a remote preferably.

The lineup isn't great, but the worst part is the app experience.

We had crave for a bit over Christmas. Wasn’t overly impressed
