And the way they do it isn’t an efficient use of the computer networks either. It’s daft they keep pushing something that uses bandwidth so badly.
The “old fashioned” ways are a least efficient. If you broadcast from a TV mast it can be received by as many people as you can possibly fit in the transmission area (theoretically), it could be a huge number of separate devices, and all from the one emission. Internet, particularly the most inefficient implementations, mean there will be one stream for every device from start point to end point. Having an emission for every user, particularly for long parts of the transmission chain, is daft and a huge waste of resources.
This is for live content I’m on about I should point out. There will obviously always be separate streams for the non-live on-demand stuff, as everyone will be watching something different and/or at different times.
