how is it that a pirate stream is able to stream without issues, but not the official stream? I would've thought that the pirate stream is merely proxying the output from the official stream, so if the official stream stutters, wouldn't the pirate stream also fail?
- Arrath 3y agoIME they're often a captured and streamed broadcast, say a Kansas City Chief's game as shown by 'your local' FOX affiliate in BFE, Oklahoma airing the afternoon game (including ads), rather than a re-share of the official online stream. I've even seen a few really chintzy ones that were just a webcam pointed at a tv, bootleg film style.
- hightrix 3y agoTypically the pirate streams I see and use are either from a local OTA broadcast or the direct cable stream. The direct stream even has placeholders for local ads.
