I haven't seen any live-tv for 30yrs now, I'm baffled they still exist somehow?

Having tv I don’t watch lowers my internet bill by like $20 a month.
Same. Never watch it but they insist and give us a deal (and then we have to call and threaten to cancel every few months when they try to take the deal away lol)
Lol. My bill is fixed so that wouldn't change anything. But our TV can only do jellyfin 😁

they've already had this for a bit with WWE on netflix.
It's just cable with Tivo. you can pause, rewind, all crap. WWE was the test case (it's like the TV version of the porn industry) so now they'll woo over other cable networks and sporting events. And then...oh you got cable without having to buy a tivo box. on the bright side, it'll make pirating and restreaming live sports a heck of alot easier.
