The ones I'm most familiar with are stream2watch.me and also the LiveNetTV app for Android. Both were worse experiences than using legitimate streaming services. stream2watch.me had TONS of pop-up ads that were absolute hell to wade through. LiveNetTV is pretty good as far as piracy apps go, but there are pre-roll ads whenever you pick a channel which is kind of annoying.

Meanwhile with streaming services first you gotta figure out which one has the thing you want to watch. Then you hope it’s actually available in your country.

That's not that hard to figure out though unless you're trying to watch like Australian rugby in the Bronx or something. Most people aren't going to run into that problem unless American sports blackouts come into play.

If it is you can then watch it, but not in high resolution, that’s for the higher subscription tier, not the one you have.

What service keeps you from watching live channels in SD using a tiered system lol

Oh wait, actually, you can’t watch it, cause your mom is currently using your account on her own pc, and you can’t stream on two devices at the same time.

This doesn't apply 1:1 to most live streaming services but you do have a point here (Sling Orange only allows 1 simultaneous streams), especially if you have either a large family like the one I'm in, or you're trying to watch a bunch of live games at the same time.
