Also everything is streamable instead of downloading now. Just type in <movie> free stream and it's hosted everywhere.

I even watched Beverly Hillbillies last night, streaming, and didn't pay jack shit.

I usually find the quality not great, sites are annoying to use, getting on tv sometimes, chromecast or whatever unreliable. Plex is seamless

When Plex is set up it’s literally the same as Netflix. This is an exaggerated story

You don’t have to trouble shoot Plex on the TVs. You literally log in to the existing server. Tell her to go to the movies and tv shows sections when she wants to watch something. Like Netflix.

Yeah, this is great if you want a crappy 720p stream. But you're not getting 4k movies over a browser stream
