I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.
EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.
- Live events, such as sports, and content offered through Amazon Freevee will continue to include advertising. Customers in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man won’t see ads in their experience at this time.
Options:
Pay no extra and suffer annoying adverts in all movies and shows.
Pay an extra £35.88 a year to get the same awful experience you had before.
Save £95 a year and cancel it. Spend your savings on a VPN, and look into Jellyfin, Radarr and Sonarr. BEST VALUE
Yeah, you're spot on with every point there. I've cancelled my auto renew, as we do use the other benefits of the prime account, but we can and will be using other services from the end of our current subscription.
Is there a guide for dummies you'd recommend. PVR and etc are unknown terms for me. I used to torrent under vpn but that was in the Limewire days.... hoping for some help in the safest ways to return to the seas.
There's plenty of guides for Linux, but with Windows you're a bit more reliant on installers and reading some of the guides about setting all the bits up.
Off the top of my head, you need:
qBittorrent (for downloading, turn on the web interface, and you can configure it to do nothing if not connected to your VPN)
Prowlarr (this scrapes torrent data from websites and collates it all together for the other parts of this system, add some sources once you install that)
Radarr (browse movies and pick which ones you want, link it to Prowlarr and qBittorrent, give it a folder e.g. D:\Movies to download into)
Sonarr (same as Radarr but for TV, again link it to Prowlarr and qBittorrent, give it a different folder e.g. D:\TV to download into)
Jellyfin (an open source Netflix, allows you to play the stuff you downloaded in a pretty web UI, or through a client program you can get for a couple of platforms, add the folders you told Radarr and Sonarr to download to)
Then you tweak everything that annoys you. By default it's quite happy to grab full 60GB+ Blu-ray releases, which is fine if you're on a fast connection and have lots of storage, but if a movie is over 10GB or so, it all looks the same to me. Depending on how you watch, you might have to mess with Jellyfin clients to figure out why certain videos won't play. It's pretty good but it's not perfect.

How does a VPN give you access to shows on Amazon that require Prime? Or do you mean it'll just give you access to more shows than you'd have otherwise?
like the other poster said it doesnt give you access to amazon's shows on amazon's site. Helpful pirates all over the world tirelessly upload "amazon's" content to the grand line. When I tell people about a show I'm loving it's always an interesting conversation when they ask me 'what service is it on?' and i straight up have no idea.
perhaps you already know this, but if you don't, MOST pirate streaming sites have everything from every service right there in a searchable webpage that looks like (usually a discount version but sometimes superior) a paid streaming site.
It's not even cope to say they are generally easier to navigate and search than the services you have to PAY for. All you need is ublock origin <---(non-negotiable) and you have access to a superior service IMMEDIATELY.
No disgusting UI trying to make you watch other shite that is clearly a failure.
No scrolling threw pages down to just get down to the "continue watching" section.
No advert between each episode that isn't an "ad" screaming the same scene for their next original failure.
No shite algorithm recommending me the next show I'm clearly not interested in
oh yeah and what about about the "because you watched" section of hilariously off-base suggestions! (which is probably really just a disguised point 1 of your post)
Which oceanic locales would one recommend? I've been too long shorebound and many of my navigational charts are outdated.
Probably meant in the context of hiding your piracy activities.
For maximum impact:
I've been doing it for years and don't regret it on bit in light of the regular sleazy behaviours of Amazon coming to light (their removing of ebooks that people bought from their Fire Tables alone is the reason why I never bought any digital media from them except for a single music track in MP3 format a decade or so ago).
