>By now, it is impossible to watch MotoGP, or Formula 1 on a SmartTV using any kind of app in either my host, or home language - my choices are streaming with DRM via custom apps on some platforms (Apple iPad, desktop browser with DRM plugins), or to subscribe for €50/month to a nonsense cable package I won't use.

In many cases, its impossible to watch certain teams, events, and entire sports even if you get cable and purchase every streaming app available in your area. You are left with no option but to pirate a stream or simply be denied the chance to watch at all.
