    Roku helps with that as it has a global search. Maybe other streaming hardware does too. Not sure.

    I am happy and a bit surprised that music streaming ended up so good.

      PlayStation of all places has this. I will often turn it on just to see if something is available on one of the services I share with family. Then I turn to sketchy streaming sites or the public library.

      But can you constrain that global search by the services you subscribe to? It’s not useful to find all the places I can’t watch something

      And can you constrain the search by language? One of the things that made Netflix easier to give up was the flood of search results in languages I don’t speak

      Roku isn’t available in my “area”, so it (still) says. It’s a bummer because I wouldn’t have any issues with paying to binge something at high quality.

      Edit: I have used justwatch.com in the past, but it isn’t always correct or up-to-date either.

      In my experience it’s pretty universal. My TV offers it (Android/Google TV), my Xbox has it, and Plex has it
