As much as I'd like to believe that it's going to get better, in my experience it's getting worse. Instead of consolidating and simplifying their terms, they are digging deeper and getting more complex. It's not uncommon to see a setup like: * Show airs during primetime * Available the next day on on-demand (not that same night) * Expires from on-demand after 30 days * Last 5 episodes but not the most recent episode available for purchase per-episode on something like google-play or amazon. * Large gap between the last 5 episodes and the previous season where it's literally impossible to buy or watch an episode legally. * second-to-most-current season available on Hulu-Plus * All seasons previous to that available on netflix or amazon prime (not both) And that's just in one country, not even taking into account the various restrictions and petty limitations like no HD and no ability to rewind or even pause in some cases. Not to mention the hardware you'd need to watch all of that on a regular TV. You are looking at least at a Fire-stick, Roku or chromecast, a STB from the cable company, and in some cases a PC that can HDMI over to the TV.
