My Dad was in the hospital, and just wanted to watch the Pirates play. The TV was filled with apps, some of them free to watch, others demanding a subscription and log in once you selected something.

None of them had the Pirates game.

I was thinking how the transistor radio was a far superior experience for this use case. Just tune to the channel broadcasting the game.

You mean the station that the MLB regulatory captured into not broadcasting when the local team was playing?
