#112Go to Germany, select "KIKA" and you can see the depressed bread.
"KIKA" just shows an infinitely-looping 10-second clip of a sign swinging that translates to "Unfortunately, you can only watch the current video if you are in Germany."
Re: TV Garden
#113The name is ironic, as there is a german TV show called Fernsehgarten (basically television garden). It's broadcasted live every sunday morning during summer season on ZDF, basically it's a outdoor studio with music and other things around a topic every week.
Mostly targeted to elderly people, but funny to watch every once in a while. You can even go there in person for quite cheap

#114Checks his own country: "No channels available."
Damn, even Afghanistan has a dozen available.

The name is probably inspired by TV Garden from Nam June Paik from the 70s

They aren't making money from this, but they are likely operating at a scale where they either don't notice if 1000 nerds on the internet are piggybacking their feeds, or don't care all that much. It is not likely useful to them in negotiating ad rates, at least not with how advertising is usually bought/sold, because the broadcaster has almost no information (if any) about anyone watching these streams, including if…
Yea I meant it is an argument they can use but not a good metric at all. I agree that mostly they just do not care. This tool only means that they'll get more international views from curious people but in the end it means nothing.
It doesn't even really mean that, the ones that care are already geofiltered. Most of these feeds only work in their country of origin.

It is rather awkward that the US right-holders chose to sue TuneIn in the UK, rather than US radio broadcasters that stream online without appropriate licenses. However, TuneIn was profiting from the premium subscriptions relating to content they knew didn't pass muster legally, and their service foundational was based on such content. There are certainly many things to be said about it. But unfortunately the debate…
> Overall, the UK TuneIn service was valuable to the public. I agree about stream directory services in general, but I'm a bit on the fence about TuneIn in particular. It started out very useful, especially as the de facto backbone for Google Home devices – I believe they back or at least used to back "Hey Google, play ". But lately they started playing "pre-roll ads", and I think lately even playing ads over the liv…
They did not.

#119So it's only getting videos from youtube that claim to be from Sweden. But very few of them actually were. The very first images I saw was a racoon, not common here at all.

#120There’s also Radio Garden https://radio.garden/
That was literally in my top 10 favourite websites until the UK f'd it up ... actually, I haven't tried using it with a VPN
