What is more likely, though, is that the TV broadcasts will be so strongly
protected from you, that you will give up on broadcasts in disgust, and
switch to something else. Talk about "digital divide" ... here it is.

There is already nothing on broadcast TV worth watching, IMO. Especially
now (endless advertising of war.) They don't need to protect it from me, I
wouldn't watch it even if they pay me.
