Home “tool” for watching movies Home “tool” for watching movies

Everyone watches movies and TV series at home. This became especially relevant with the closure of cinemas due to the introduced restrictive measures. Previously, I had no idea about subscriptions to online cinemas. And now everything has changed.

There has always been the Internet, where you could watch any movie for free. There were and are various torrents and other resources where you can download something. Before 2020, I never paid anything to watch movies. I paid only for a movie ticket, or quite a long time ago I bought collections of films that few people buy now.

It all started with YouTube. As the child grew up a little, he was given a tablet on which he watches children’s cartoons and videos. Without a subscription, advertisements appear, the child begins to get nervous and cry. He still can’t press the “skip” button. Therefore, I had to pay for a subscription, now the child has calmed down and watches everything calmly.

My wife and I like to watch a movie or series on TV in the evening. We connected the laptop to the TV via an HDMI cable. We watched it for free, sometimes in poor quality, and did not pay attention to the constant advertising of all sorts of incomprehensible services and companies. Later, I became too lazy to make unnecessary movements with connecting the laptop and acoustics. We started watching through a browser on the TV itself. A little later, the browser began to slow down, and the TV’s hardware began to not cope. It became a problem to turn something on. And now there is a solution to the problem.

I use a Sberbank card, where “Thank you” bonuses are accumulated. There are lucrative offers for purchasing a subscription to the ivi online cinema service. We decided to try it, we needed to put the bonuses somewhere, and we liked it. Very convenient, no ads, always excellent quality on the big screen, nothing slows down. The application is installed on the TV and does not glitch. One account for several TVs. A large number of films for every taste. There are also paid ones, how could we live without it? This is how we used this service throughout 2020. All you need is a remote control and no more manipulations with connecting a laptop or downloading movies.

During the New Year holidays we had a lot of time and watched more often. I wanted to watch some specific films and TV series, but some of them were not available on ivi. We downloaded another okko service, where we also paid for the subscription with bonuses. They found the films and TV series they needed there and really liked it too.

And now I understand that I am paying for three subscriptions to services. Although I was always opposed to this. You quickly get used to good things; I’m unlikely to return to the old viewing patterns with inconvenience, advertising and poor quality. Do you use subscriptions or is this not for you, write in the comments for discussion.
