Honestly, based on the advertising, I am starting to think that most OTA TV is targeted at people who are at least 40 and/or who are diabetic and/or overweight. Lots and lost of drug commercials aimed at those groups, plus anyone with depression.
The networks expanded their programming to meet the older early bird and
night owl crowd. The early bird news is less likely to be channel surfed which is better for advertisers. You can tell it's targetted towards seni citizens because the major advertisers are Gold Bond Powder, adult diapers, and Geritol

As opposed to cable/ satellite. I get the impression that the over 50 crowd enjoys the older reruns these channels play.
I know a few folk who
are not into streaming, nor were into premium cable channels with regards to standard TV viewing. They get their news from the local channels, and that's it.
I might be one of those people who fall into that category, though it's mostly because I don't really like the idea of spending a bunch of money on the various different streaming services only for a couple shows I want to watch.
I don't even have cable or satellite..

If you have good bandwidth, good for you. I live outside of town where there' s less than 10 houses per mile, and bandwidth is limited.

So for example, if you wanted to watch Star Trek Enterprise and it
is only available on Paramount pay streaming services, how would you
go about getting it?

I'm on a wait list. since I've been on they raised the price of the receiver by $200 and are talking about throttling bandwidth. Too bad Tmobile's 5g at home isn't available in my area. I've talked to folks that really love it.

Yep, that works too.

Many shows (including that one) are also available on blu-ray and/or
DVD, so that would be an option. Also, one could download shows like
that via BitTorrent if one really wanted to..

Is BitTorrent trackable/traceable?
Thanks NF, my preferred way would also be physical media. I just
like to have the item in my hand. Problem is I have so many
packages that I don't have anywhere to store them.

Is BitTorrent trackable/traceable?
Yup. Unless you use a VPN on the machine running bittorrent, you will likely receive a letter from your ISP. Like, a real paper cease & desist. I may have messed up years ago and seen one of those from Comcast. :D
there's bottom feeder companies that just monitor public torrents and auto report the ip to the isps. they make pennies but i guess it's a living.
you just dont use public torrents.

Yupyup, admittedly I want to say I was super-dumb and downloaded some stuff from pirate bay and a few public TV episode torrents. Don't do that, folks.
It is easy for Internet Service Providers to determine you are using BitTorrent.
BitTorrent traffic is usually encrypted nowadays, but anybody downloading the same files as you can also find out easily you are downloading the
same file. In effect, the only thing you need to know who are downloading some piece of copyrighted material is to start downloading yourself and then check the list of IPs in the swarm.

If those other IPs are reassinged IPs from VPNs, it doesn't
mean much.
You do need to be extra-careful; ensure that your VPN has a kill-switch. If the connection goes down, the VPN client needs to either block all traffic or have the capability of killing an app, like your torrent client, to ensure that you don't send traffic in the clear.

That helps - make sure you pick a reputable provider who doesn't keep
logs of traffic.
