    An exception might be nowTV from sky. Being copyright trolls themselves they would spend years in development to reinvent the wheel if there was a 0.1% to block pirates.

    In 2018 I was given a 6 months coupon for their service. I wasn’t able to watch a single minute:

    1. For Android, at the time it was available on just 5 whitelisted Samsung Galaxy S devices (of course with strong root checks)
    2. For windows it required to install Microsoft silverlight even if it was discontinued years before by Microsoft itself, giving users a big security issue (using a discontinued web plugin that has direct access to the os is not a good idea)
    3. Linux support was completely missing
