I don't follow your overall argument. My Foxsat DVR grabs digital
copies of broadcast media and the cheapo sat card in my PC similarly
dumps the ts straight to disk. I can hear/view those files without
restriction and anyone in the UK could do the same.

Except that quite often the tail end of broadcasts includes announcers
giving information about upcoming programmes. Depends what you want and
whether you're keeping the recording. For casual stuff I don't care but
for other stuff I'm likely to watch a few times then it does matter for me.
In addition, broadcast programmes are often upscaled.
That's why prefer I prefer the get_iPlayer version, but YMMV!
