So the cable pirated TV to IPTV reflector streams are being re-pirated or maybe just Liberated?

I've not looked at it in a few months but fairly sure its not pirated, its just online streams of FTA channels. All the UK ones for example are are just the UK's free to air broadcasters and someones figured out the urls to the feeds they use on their websites and apps. Lots of the US and CA ones look to be the same sort of situation. You'll find most wont work without a VPN as they are geo blocked.

Free to air in UK does not mean free to the whole world. For example BBC/Channel 4/Channel 5 are geofenced to UK only.

> I wonder if OP heard about it from the NA podcast What podcast do you mean?

here's the cite: https://noagenda.clipgenie.com/content/34613737-6134-3364-66...

Thanks for the link.

On a related note, that's a pretty neat site for podcasts.

I vaguely remember that John C. Dvorak had a podcast, but I honestly had forgotten about him since the TechTV/ZDTV days. Though I may not always agree with him, I've always appreciated his point of view and personality.

In the world of tech journalism, he's one of the best.

Yup thats why I mentioned that, and the vpn.
