Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

I know. I said standalone pc to fit the earlier commenter’s point. Desktop would have been the correct choice, but I figured the gist got across. If it was unclear to anybody, I apologize.

No need to apologise I just wanted to clear things up for anyone reading the thread.

You can do everything you need to do on an old laptop... you don't need a desktop. You just need to make sure you disable any of the power saving settings so it can stay on all the time but then enable a display-off type of screen saver.

I don’t think most people have an extra laptop sitting around their home. And they definitely aren’t gonna want to do that to their daily driver.

I just don’t think this is feasible for the average person.
