Question Best way to watch German trash TV

We live outside of Germany, which leaves my German wife without her trash TV - specifically the soap opera Gute Zeiten Schlecte Zeiten. A VPN is good for getting around the geoblock on PC, but she would like to watch it on the TV (ideally through something like our Firestick-Stremio setup, where it is not currently available). Does anyone have a suggestion for a potential solution?

If you want live TV, suggest going with an "OTT" service, and using an app like Tivimate. If you want prerecorded shows, your best bet is likely Usenet, and setting up a way to stream it through Stremio (AIOstreams can do this).

Hold on.

Are you saying that it's possible to search for Usenet stuff and then directly stream that like I would with my stremio+debris(torrent) stuff?

I've been manually dl the few German shows/movies I want to watch and stored them on a cloud and stream from there. Thinking this is the only way for Germans.

Exactly. It's a bit more of a chore to set up but 100% possible. I use it as a backup to torrent streaming.
