Yes, I watched via Max until the games returned to OTA TV then cancelled so just one month of service. I do not like paying for all of the "extra" channels & do not watch anything during the Summer, so I'm very interested in the ESPN-only deal.
There are dozens of different apps. The one that works for you is dependent on how you stream and who made your smart tv.
On my FireStick 4K, I had sideloaded a free app called CinemaHD which gave me free access to all movies (even ones that were still in cinemas). Unfortunately the app went dark about a year ago
About 5 years ago, I used downloader to add this same illegal streaming app plus purchased a VPN to keep my location unknown. After watching 5 or 6 movies, I deleted both. The reason was the VPN slowed my system down too much allowing buffering which is the worst sin in legal streaming. I also found out some of the movie links had been virus infected and there was no way of knowing which links. Just about all of the illegal apps like this have gone dark now. I don't think downloader is available either. The people who operated these apps were fined and put out of business, not sure if anyone went to jail.
