Insert the SD card with the fresh OS install to your RPi.When I returned to Sri Lanka last year, one of my main goals was to bring back all my external HDDs, so that at least I can plug in and watch them. (ex: Friends is not available on Netflix-CA, only on Crave.ca). But due to content provider restrictions, many of the movies and tv-shows are not allowed on Netflix-Canada, and to watch them, I had to subscribe to other services. When I first moved to Canada, I only brought 1 external HDD, because I didn’t see the use of it as Netflix had almost all the shows I like (that’s what I thought) and external HDDs are heavy. ![]() That was good and fun back then, but when Netflix came into the picture, spending 9 USD was easier than taking an external HDD everywhere, I kinda forgot about the stuff I collected over time. Investing in an external HDD made more sense even it was just for this silly purpose so I started with just 500GB and when I finished Uni, I had a total of 8TB external HDDs. Because what I did earlier was burn everything onto DVDs and keep them saved in my cupboard. To collect these shows, I had to buy external hard drives. The whole purpose was to download and share movies and tv-shows among friends, so everyone will have access to almost all the shows and no one has to download the same thing again. ![]() Because of this, back in the Uni, we literally had a community called “Movie + Tv Series downloaders and sharer’s community” □. Until recently (6–7 years), Netflix was not a household name in Sri Lanka due to many reasons mainly bandwidth limitations.īut when SLT introduced the off-peak GBs and Dialog had the “50rs-1hour-unlimited browsing” package, everyone who was into the whole collecting movies/tv-show started downloading shows in bulk and I did the same. Growing up in Sri Lanka, the best way to watch western movies or TV series was to download and burn them to DVDs (or rent or get them from friends).
