To those who use IPTV services, why? (sh.itjust.works)

There are quite a few cheap IPTV subscriptions out there with 50k+ channels, but my question is, why do you still watch live TV? With piracy, you can grab any movie or TV show you want and watch it on demand with Jellyfin or Plex. Am I missing out by not watching TV channels myself?

Hard to explain. I use iptv because I miss having something on that is:

  • something I might have not see before, channel flip and find something new.
  • something I don't really care about and can be turned off at moments notice.
  • something just for background noise.
  • I sometimes dont want to think and pick a show.
  • Other??

Some of those overlap a little.
