For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

I wish I could find a way to do streaming on my Xbox. It has turned into the entertainment device for me and my partner; with every streaming service on it the only thing I hook up my computer to the TV for is sports. Guess it’s time to get IPTV.
Plex/Emby/Jellyfish server on a spare PC streaming to the relevant Plex/Emby/Jellyfish app on Xbox is such a better experience to the streaming apps, no ads, clean interface and works even if your internet is down. Add in Sonarr and Radarr with NZBGet or Transmission for automated downloads and you’ll never go back.
I consume my media on anything that can access the internet. Even on a stream deck, thanks to Plex. As another user posted, Emby and Jellyfin are alternatives as well.
Edit: consume not costume
