I’m with you. Maybe it’s because I’ve never had truly good homemade stuffing? It’s always a weird, damp, spongy mess. But that box of Stove Top, ready in minutes? I’ll eat the whole thing by myself. It’s also great to have an extra box to go with the leftovers, especially for the sandwiches.

Oh man. That looks fabulous. I may have to give it a go some time. Can’t do it tomorrow, but one day soon…

Sonarr (and the other 'arrs) is just a management tool. From the servarr wiki:

Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

At a high level, you tell it where your current tv show episodes are saved, and add new shows as you want. It then automates the process of searching and downloading. But you still need to have an indexer and download client. If you’re not able to find shows searching your current tracker/indexer, Sonarr won’t have any better luck.

Finding a good source of the media you want is the most important part. If you’re not comfortable with installing and managing your own server applications, the *arr stack could be overwhelming at first. The wiki I linked has a lot of good information to get you started.

Honestly, I had to google it, too :D

As far as I know, they mean “Personal Video Recorder” in a fashion similar to “DVR”/“Digital Video Recorder” like the one your cable company provides. It’s a little misleading, imo, because it doesn’t do any recording, but I didn’t come up with the name, so who knows.

honestly it’s baffling that I’ve spent 30 years on the internet and can understand so little of it

100% agree.
