SIGMA30

What's stremio?
Basically like netflix but has content from every service instead for much cheaper.

With real-debrid having issues due to copyright filters, torbox is a great alternative if anyone is looking for one for stremio, nuvio or other apps.

Coupon code:
SIGMA30

The deal works out to US$25.20 (via crypto payment method only) for 12 months of Essential, plus the referral bonus adds extra days, bringing it to about 450 days total. That comes out to around $2.31 per month.

Referral bonus days:

1 month = +7 days
3 months = +21 days
6 months = +42 days
12 months = +84 days

Important notes:

This is for new accounts only.
You need to choose the one-time payment option, not subscription.
The SIGMA30 coupon appears to only work with crypto payment, with BTC accepted.

Steps:

Use the referral link or paste the referral code during checkout.
Select Essential → 12 months → one-time payment.
Apply the coupon code SIGMA30 and make sure the 30% discount shows.
Pay with any crypto listed.
The referral bonus days should be added automatically.

Worked for me and came out to around 15 months for about US$25. TorBox has been running smoothly so far, especially as an alternative to Real-Debrid

    Hmm might have to give it a go with the recent Real Debrid issues lately.

    • Craftboy77 on 19/05/2026 - 10:04

      I recommend also trying Nuvio if you can be stuffed, they added a native implementation like yesterday with torbox and the loadings almost instant now with it.

      • ThanksOP bought X on 19/05/2026 - 10:11

        Nuvio VS Stremio?

          Nuvio none better way more feature rich

          • FeZZa21 on 23/05/2026 - 18:51

            @hessels92: One thing it doesn't handle is auto refresh rate switching like stremio. Both on my NVIDIA shield and Xiaomi s box gen 3

          • bamzero on 25/05/2026 - 11:45

            @hessels92: and 2 way Trakt sync. Stremio is a PITA in that anything I watch via Kodi isn't marked watched in Stremio despite being so on Trakt.

        Nuvio is solid but requires a little bit of tinkering to sort out categories if you want to go down that path.

        I've been using WuPlay for awhile that is pretty good. Pretty much set up once and you're on your way.

        • creesy on 19/05/2026 - 14:52
          +2

          Not at all, categories are easy, check out bingecat addon and you'll never need to worry about API keys and tmdb/trakt etc. again.

          The problem with nuvio is they update it so often and nearly every second update (for android TV) breaks something.

      • Referenced on 19/05/2026 - 10:25

        How is it? Stremio has been soo buggy for me lately and their flat out refusal to add profile support really annoys me. I'd be keen to try something else

        • creesy on 19/05/2026 - 14:53
          +2

          Nuvio has support for 5 profiles on android TV.

          I'll never go back to stremio.

          • Referenced on 19/05/2026 - 15:40

            @creesy: Yeah looks really good - love that they use mpv instead of exoplayer on android tv. no way to use it on a laptop though from what I can tell which is a shame

            • creesy on 19/05/2026 - 15:46

              @Referenced: There's a webapp with the ability to use the keyboard or a remote to navigate. It works really well.

      • cornflakes on 19/05/2026 - 13:35

        I've been getting annoyed lately with stremio and streams just buffering. I don't know why but I can't seem to get over 2.5 MB/s download. So instantaneous loads sounds amazing.

        Was told about Real Debrid a while back but never looked into it because it got shut down or wasn't working or something a year or so back?

        • Pyrock on 20/05/2026 - 00:19
          +3

          Are you just using straight torrents to steam?
          You will get much better results from a debrid service. RealDebrid had controversy a while ago (still ongoing I guess) and are losing the trust of the community with how they deal with anything to do with customer service. It's still technically the best option in terms of what's available cached but the other main players are all pretty similar now. You will only have issues with really niche content.

          I have been using torbox for the last year and havnt found a stream that hasn't been cached yet (and even if you find one you just click it to download and wait a bit for it to be available)
          They also have the great feature of being able to use it from several different IP addresses simultaneously even in the base tier (multiple users can use one account)

        • Harvey1 on 21/05/2026 - 09:33

          It's so annoying!
          I found out after having the same issue for ages, that they block VPNs.
          Basically stopped using it after I read that.

      • TheFreaK on 20/05/2026 - 00:03

        Can't do auto stream selection with it yet though

      • CodeXD on 28/05/2026 - 09:14

        I moved from stremio to nuvio, the interface is much nicer and eaiser to navigate. However, I'm getting playback issues on my TCL with built in Android TV. Sometimes when I fast forward through a video, it will be stuck on pause. I click on play button and it changes to pause button but nothing happens on screen, frozen frame. Even going back and picking the same source doesn't seem to do anything.

        It's not a great experience if I can never fast forward through a video. Will happen to ~30-40% of the videos.

        • poxy001 on 03/06/2026 - 07:49

          @CodeXD which TCL do you have?

            @poxy001: 75C8K

            If you search tcl on nuvio discord, there is an open bug report for my exact issue.

            • bamzero on 04/06/2026 - 08:22

              @CodeXD: Are you on Android 12 or 14? Have the C7K, got the OTA update to 14 just some days ago (despite me having automatic updates disabled it still did it)

              Hadn't tried it before but had a bit of a play with Nuvio on it after though haven't come across that problem yet.

              • CodeXD on 04/06/2026 - 11:24

                @bamzero: Turn on TV a few days ago and there was also an update, I'll guess that upgraded me to 14.

                I've switched over to wuplay and it's been great, not looking to change something that isn't broken.

        Yea I jumped on a bit after all the controversy and now havnt had any issues finding non cached content. I recon torbox had a pretty big user base now to have most things cached.
        Having said that, I don't really watch niche content though.

        Occasionally when no streams show, I jump onto DMM (Debrid Media Manager) and there are cached copies on there. One click and they appear in Stremio.

      Revolut would be easy however you can't send the btc to an address, only a contact via email etc. Also requires your TFN which most legally abiding apps will also require. BTCmarkets is what I used as it's what I used when I invested 11 years ago.

            @Adam22: The benefits are it is significantly easier, basically when you combine with Stremio you effectively have access to streaming content that "mostly" just works whereas Jellyfin requires significantly more effort on your part.

    I've been using Torbox for about 6 months, since Real Debrid banned me for using multiple IPs. Cheaper than Real-Debrid, allows for multiple IPs to use at once and has been rock solid. I can max out my gigabit connection downloading from them. There has been some downtime recently but they added like 12 extra days to everyone's subscription to make up for it. No complaints from me
