Because that way I don't have to dig up the other two remotes that would
be involved in watching TV 'directly', plus I wouldn't be able to pause

Since you brought up websites: consider "surfing the web"; how would you
like it if EVERY SINGLE LINK you clicked on presented you with a black
screen for 10 seconds before letting you see the webpage? I bet you
would get tired of that pretty quickly.
