    It’s already bullshit that Crave and Bell own the rights to a shit ton of stuff up here through being the main media conglomerate. I got Crave through Cogeco as a bonus to our cable package and honestly, anything that’s worth watching on the service is likely either an HBO original or something that’s worth permanently downloading.

    I actually can’t even use the Crave browser client properly on most of my machines due to adblocking. In order to watch SNW last week I had to install Crave as an Android app through Windows Subsystem for Android in order to actually gain access to the library. At that point it’s just worth it for me to straight up torrent it because it’s just simply not worth the hassle on top of shifting media rights.

      You certainly tried a lot harder than I did. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if HBO allowed us to buy just HBO I’d have paid up.
