  The only issue with your second point is that it can eventually become a quagmire when you do need to upgrade it.

  I work for a very old company who held to that philosophy for many years. And while any individual component could be looked at and seen as running fine, when they did finally decide it was time to upgrade they were faced with needing to upgrade everything simultaneously.

  All of the tech was too old, so no current tech had the sort of backwards compatible bridge that helps you move forward. It’s like figuring out how to get your telegram system to also work on your WiFi network, nobody makes any interfaces for that.

  Instead of slowly and gradually replacing components over time, they’re faced with a single major overhaul that’s put the entire company at risk because they have to completely shut down for over a month.

  Until TV is setup the same way Spotify/YouTube music/apple music is where you just pick one you like and listen to the same music the other platforms have, they’ll continue to have pirating problems.

  I currently pay more per month for the various components needed for highly effective pirating than I would for cable and that’s purely because it offers a better experience. I can’t buy a plex-like experience anywhere for any price legally.

  Fix that and I’ll go legit just like I did for music.
