That’s probably a decent starting point, but a little older. I am not sure if the situation has changed any in 2026.

Yeah it's definitely sketchy, but a "media access box" that purports to replace $100 a month in streaming bills with pirate media is kinda awesome.
Of course, the countries the Jellyfin and Plex servers along with IPTV dealers aren't illegal there.
And sure, your device becomes a residential proxy. They don't make that fact clear... But if you told people, I think for that $100-$200 a month streaming bills go poof is probably worth it.

I saw these things being sold for $300 at my local State Fair just a week ago. First heard about them a few months back on the Darknet Diaries podcast: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/172/
