  1. Thanks for this. In general, great advice, especially the recommendation on Tablo, which is a great service.

    Your information about Crackle is very out of date, however.

    Sony sold the service to the Chicken Soup for the Soul people back in 2019 and pulled out. At the same time, the new owners cut back on service to many other countries and it has been inaccessible in Canada without a VPN anymore.

    However, many of the older crackle shows and more are also available on CTV’s “Throwback” service, and are available to all Canadians with limited commercials and without need for a subscription.

    In fact, I would say that both CTV’s app and CBC’s GEM are must haves for cord cutters because they have extensive content for free. Neither of these are available on Roku, however, which is a shame.
