| Thanks. I could spend hours watching distant cultures. Their colours, environment, technical equipment... I saw some people in Somalia using DJI microphones, those that in the West are mainly used by YouTubers. I also see TVs that are normally subject to fees. I'm aware the FAQs say it's only public streams, but I fear this won't last long. |

| The definition of "public" in this context is not straightforward. I, too, doubt the site is long for this world, and due to its ease-of-use could possibly also draw the broadcasters' attention to all the unprotected streams they may have either not known about, or not cared about because they were only really discoverable/usable by a relatively small group of geeks |

| Non-public streams wouldn’t be published without DRM, or at least not as publicly retrievable (i.e. without any authentication) M3U playlists, would they? |

| I think its inevitable death will be from all that unrestricted pornography. That being said, these kinds of projects usually hold up for quite some time. |

| ▲ | sepositus 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | My children were interested in playing with it, but this was my fear. Is there actually pornography streaming on it? | | |
| ▲ | larfus a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I came across erotic films in a Swiss channel, so yes. The catch is that they probably were streaming it at 3 a.m. in the night but i watched it at 7 p.m across the ocean | |
