I can't count how often I go over and try and watch a movie or a game and the feed is beyond garbage. Nobody likes paying for cable or more than they need but at the end of the day if you watch a lot of TV, news or sports, then just pay for it and be done with the nonsense headaches.

We went to sports bar the other day to watch the Flames game and the IPTV was beyond brutal where not a single person working or my friends who have a system could figure it out. Literally watched old, repeat games and couldn't change the channel past American news. The place was empty and I know partially why.
I know it's not everyone, but the majority of the pirate streaming people are not movie buffs and never buy BluRays so their standard of what's acceptable is really low. It being free is more important than a quality picture.

I still pay monthly for TV but when I walk in the door I hit the button and the game is on instantly in HD without any buffering or time delays while I make supper.
