If someone happens to loan a recording out to someone else so they too can see the program, the originator and the broadcaster (and all the advertisers) are already paid, so they lose nothing.
So long as you do not attempt to re-sell the program in any attempt to profit from it, there is nothing legally wrong with viewing it after it was broadcast.
I think all the streaming sites are the wave of the future.
Your rationalizations may or may not win over a jury some day in the future after laws are clarified regarding streaming of copyrighted content. But like I say, I don’t watch tv or movies, doesn’t affect me one way or the other.
