That's 3.8 total, not concurrently

I.e. people tried iplayer, saw how crap the experience was (in this niche case), then found a TV or pub with TV to watch it on.

Ah concurrents.

In this case the stream went down in the last 5 minutes of the match, which is still bad, but not as bad as YouTube TV earlier this week!
