Why bother? Just watch your content another way.

Because it's not live or same day.

Torrents are usually up the same night for the shows I watch ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯

Why cares though?

Plus, tons of streamed options are also live.

I prefer traditional TV

What does that even mean?

If you can stream the channel live on your TV, how is that any different?

I liked watching each new episode of Better Call Saul as it aired. That way I could keep up with the discussion on social media when other were watching it and avoid spoilers. I heard a bunch of complaints about AMC+ so I'm glad I didn't have to deal with that.

Same situation with live sports. I'm not sure what packages exist to watch game in real time, but watching live in satellite works fine for me.
