I guess the problem would be that a fire stick/Google TV/other TV dongle just doesn’t have the compute and or storage to do this stuff. Maybe apple TV would be ready to be fair. Certainly no Samsung/LG inbuilt stuff will manage it.
Maybe this and other things like it in other countries will spur on a new category of dongle devices that come with like 500GB or more storage that will enable people to keep their current TVs.
Maybe they could offer a version of the software that comes without the ability to pause live TV, I think that’s what would be required to make it work with existing hardware
Communism is just a desire/plan for having democratic control over the economic sphere as well as the political sphere. The authoritarian stuff is just some people taking a more rapid/paternalistic approach to achieving it.
