Thread: Wilson!!!!!!!

Horse bless your heart that you wrote all that. I understood a little tiny bit. It was more the teacher in Charlie Brown in my head. But you took the time to explain and I thank you very much. Because I'm a nut case with everything I do I have heard of VPN's because of Big Brother Canada. I haven't gotten one yet because my husband thinks I'm already insane and tells me I can only put it on my lap top. Still paying for that transmission so not yet.

Anyway if you go to Surfshark use the coupon TARAN and get it for 24 months it's $ 2.21/month.

It is a slave to your location based on your IP address (where you live) unless you go about other means to receive a signal from outside. Essentially, you have to “jailbreak” a fire stick to get programming from out of area that you aren’t paying for. Jail breaking a fire stick isn’t illegal. Honestly, once you’ve jailbroken your fire stick all you’re really doing is streaming, just like you would from any of the sites you normally would - which is “illegal”. Theoretically, they can still trace your IP address back to you unless you use a VPN (virtual private network) which disguises your IP address. Using a VPN is not illegal and is actually safer especially if you use public WiFi. Unfortunately, you have to pay a provider for a VPN (typically around $80-100 a year). If you have a VPN, it doesn’t really matter about the fire stick, you can stream whatever you want at your leisure because you’re essentially protected from being tracked. In other words, even with a jailbroken fire stick you can be tracked illegally streaming unless you use a vpn. If you have a vpn, you can essentially stream on your phone or computer with impunity anyway.

Until they shut down Locast, I just used a location spoofer in my computer to make it think I was in Denver so I could get the local TV broadcast to watch the games.

If I understand you correctly, jailbreaking the Stick is not illegal in itself because the Stick is yours. However, if you are using it to stream programs like NFL Ticket and movie streaming that usually charge a subscription, that is what is illegal, if of course, you are not paying for them.

But if you want to do this without anyone getting the wiser, then spend $80 to $100 yrly for a VPN to hide your identity and location. Do I have that right? If so, then yes, that sounds illegal to me.

Your fire stick is a slave to your IP address location unless you jailbreak it and then you’re still just doing the same thing with it that you’d do streaming games on your phone or computer.

No.
Absolutely not. I take my firestick with me all over the world when I travel. A lot of what you said is correct, well, all of it. However, there are tv services (like spotify for music, but for tv) that exist. I have one of those. I have thai, canada, uk, brazil, etc channels. I can watch anything as I have everything. It has nothing to do with a vpn or where I am at. I use it in hotels. I will use it in costa rica next month (I did a few months ago). I can watch seattle programming. I can watch NYC. Anything.

If spotify is considered theft why is it not shut down? Why do amazon and apple also now have their own music subscription services?

Hint: It is not theft.
There are things out there that were. GearsTV was one of them. I actually used it for a minute too. It got shut down because that was illegal I think. I know it got shut down, no clue if that guy got sentenced or whatnot. There are plenty of actual services out there. What do you think a slingbox is? That is like 20 year old tech that dish network bought. For me being the least tech savvy (2nd least- sorry P) it amazes me that some of you are not way more up on this. The worst part is the board lunatic Jham is lmao! But he is right.




Also- fwiw- you do not have to jailbreak a firestick. You down load a free app called downloader (its a faster smoother internet/search functionality). You authorize 3rd party apps. You type in the name of some of the free apps (some are paid like the TV ones) and download. 99% of everything is free. If you want to pay for some stuff you can. You do not have to. All of that literally takes less than 2 minutes to do. You can literally do it in the commercial break of a broncos game.

Seriously, I would say learn more about it before saying things like that. Do you think I would ever say anything that could ever potentially get P in trouble, any grey area or anything? Come on now. I have met P more than anyone here and I see her at least a couple times a year at camp, if not other places. We need more P's in this world!

I have three fire-sticks. They don't just stream every NFL game after plugging them in to the USB slot on the tv. That is 100% false.

No one said they would either. So what you said is 100% false.

OMG. I swear.
When it comes to anything I say you all become the most literal people on the planet.


Let me help you then.

(INSERT)- After plugging into the tv (Insert)
- turn on and download "Downloader"
- go to settings and allow 3rd party apps
- download whatever apps/programs/services you wish
(Be advised some you have to pay monthly for- mainly the TV ones)
(You do not have to have a vpn, but you can)

( I recommend downloading MX player in addition)

Then fill out the catpcha.
Then open the app you wish to watch once it is downloaded.
Then you put in billing info
If it is a free app you search for whatever it is you wish to watch.
Once found select the program/movie, etc
Then you can rejoice

An app downloaded through downloader on a firestick is not an authorized method to watch out-of-market NFL games.

I'm not passing judgement. I'm just being truthful about what's going on.

BTW, spotify and Apple music services etc., are either ad-based (the ads pay for the music), or subscription based (you pay a subscription).

I would say more like Ebay but Craigslist sounds more like dollar menu at McDonald's.

So who do you think will be Wilson's go to receiver?

Downloader is not an app to watch anything on. It is an app that lets you search for and find the apps and subscription services you want. NFL redzone is one such app. As one single example. There are hundreds. (please captain literal people- not saying you ntl- do not @me with NFL redzone is not a full game- I am completely aware. That is why there are many other apps/Services to get).

I know spotify and apple music services are that. I literally said that a few posts up. So yes, and thank you for re-enforcing what I said in case what I said was somehow confusing to anyone.
