Don't you end up using an international link, as that's the price the rest of the world pays? and then it gives you access straight through their website in, as you say, full HD?

what? how?
So I will run through the basics real quick but hopefully remind everyone next year.
So NFL Gamepass does every single game live and the red zone and it's all online. They have an app also if you want that. The problem is that for the USA they have an agreement you can only watch old games so I think you can watch Sunday games on Monday etc.
If you sign up for the service through a proxy it will give you the price in that country and give you access to 100% live games. So I would VPN in a couple weeks before and see which country would be cheapest. Some are expensive because of the exchange rate and some are downright cheap. Pay with my US credit card in whatever currency they desire and then every time it was game day I would VPN in again and play just perfectly. I think the low price last year was around $99 but it might have been a bit lower. I didn't find a VPN for the lowest of the low which I think was Argentina and like $79. It might have been Germany and I still had a VPN for that so it was $99. I think you can use Hola which is some extension that lets you proxy in your browser without purchasing a VPN.
So for around $100 for the entire season and maybe $20 for a VPN for the entire season you get super HD live games and red zone for all pre/reg/post season games and the Super Bowl. Way cheaper than whatever you paid for cable that year.

oh wow... I never knew this was a thing. any recommendations on which ones are any good?
I haven't pulled the trigger yet on any of them but Torula is one of them I was looking at.

I just bought a DirecTV Now account with the $35/mo Go Big package promotional pricing grandfathered in. The number of channels dwarfs anything else at that price and you can add HBO or Cinemax for only $5. I'm banking on DirecTV Now vastly improving its service over the next few months since it pales compares to Vue but is also very new. Hulu is launching their own service in a few months I believe so I expect this industry to get very competitive in the coming year.

Look at that, the money shifts away from traditional TV services, and all these players pop up to snatch it up in place of. I have dreams sometimes that I can control the minds of everyone, and the latest was along these lines. I controlled everyone to stop going to sporting events and concerts at ridiculous ticket prices. Everyone was standing around like whoa, how come no one showing up to my concerts?

Btw I looked at Torula, apparently they want $20/month (prepaid at least 3 months at a time, which is concerning) for what looks to be a lot of channels of low quality. I guess the PPV feeds would be nice to have if you're very into UFC but there were too many drawbacks for me to want to pull the trigger on that kind of service.
The one reason I want to try it is because it can integrate into my Plex server via a plugin which I cannot do with DirectTV or other "legit" places.

I think someone else brought it up here, but I don't know how far back.
I have been using Sonarr with Deluge, and I have the auto unzip feature checked in Deluge, but it doesn't seem to actually work. Is there some kind of super secret setting I need to change somewhere to get it to work?

I've got Sonarr and Deluge, and the auto unzip only works if you have 7zip installed on your computer. I'm old school WinRAR kind of guy, but had to just get 7zip, and from that point forward it works just fine.

I have it too. Got in with the prepay for 3 mos and get a free Apple TV. The channel selection is by far the best, but no DVR makes me sad. It also isn't on the Roku yet, so I have to move around a Chromecast to cover all the TVs.
