If you buy movies or use paid streaming services on your PC you can always just get around it by hooking up your TV into the HDMI port with a long HDMI cable and unplugging the adapter, using your TV to watch those things is better anyway
If all you want to do is game and use free streaming services like youtube or twitch you should be good without having to do that
