I used illegal streams this world cup. They seemed to have sub millisecond latency i.e got the goals in near real time. Maybe, BBC & iTV should ask what the pirates are using.

They’re most likely grabbing the feed directly from a TV tuner and then sending that over RTP. While it won’t be sub-millisecond, it’s definitely a lot faster than HLS.

Were they streams of Russian broadcasts?
