What is the best TV/movie service I can set up for someone who is not tech savvy and wants something that just works?

Happy to buy hardware if needed. Just trying to avoid large streaming services abhorrent business practices.

I have a similar setup. The only strange thing is that one house always seems to have buffer issues while the rest don't (they'll start a show and it will buffer every few minutes). What would you recommend in that situation kind stranger?

A better ISP or a better WiFi connection. Most of the time it is bandwidth related. Maybe let them manually select a lower quality stream.

I may need to do that. I suggest that everyone stream the original file to avoid transcoding but they just may need to do it. Thanks!
