There's a chance of course that they will let people rewatch after it airs, but who knows.
Use streamlink, type in on command prompt (without quotes) "streamlink <stream URL> --best" and you can stream on VLC. Then hit record on VLC and it should be recorded to a hard drive of your choice (to set recording directory, go to Settings -> (Simple) Input / Codecs -> Files -> Record directory or filename).

Just ran a test of this and can confirm it does in fact work as long as what you are trying to stream/record is currently live-streaming. You don't even have to do the manual recording step. You can just append -o filename if you want it to download or -r filename if you want to watch it in vlc and download simultaneously, so it would look like this for example in terminal:
(paste into the terminal without quotes) "streamlink <stream URL> best -o HamasakiAyumiXmasLive2020"

I didn't give it a file extension until after I stopped the recording. Both .ts and .mp4 worked as file extensions to play the files, but I feel like .ts was better quality (probably not actually though, they're probably exactly the same.) I tried it on a Mac in terminal.

Sounds good, so I don´t need to cry if the stream doesn´t work while driving xD

This sounds promising but on streamlink website I found information that protected videos on youtube are not supported. I checked in VLC recording and it records streams well but it failed with streams from official channels so I am wondering if it will work. I definitely hope for it ^^

Oh wow. Didn’t even know there was such a thing as protected stream...ah well. With the time changed to 19.30 I probably won’t be able to see the whole stream anyway. I’m not really good with code, so I have no idea how to solve for it or if such a patch exists. It’s interesting though, because streamlink can work for other protected streams like Crunchyroll, unless those streams are not protected?
I’ll try to test if I can find a protected stream to test with, otherwise we need a new plan.

I checked this one (power rangers official) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoVcobJTZXk and I didn't use streamlink and it's connection to VLC. I just used VLC and its ability to record streams. So me being unable to record referred to such operation.
