For a while now I have been setup to grab in the clear ( unencrypted ) back haul news feeds, I usually watch what is interesting and then let it record over as it runs out of space.

In the current environment I feel like it may beneficial to save these long term. What these feed are, are the feeds the news stations use to insert into the news. They are picked apart and use in various portions of the broadcast. This will give you a good idea on the content that I’m referring to. A lot of this is saved but it is behind a paywall and not really accessible.

I don’t have a ton of time to dedicate to this. So I was curious if others thought this was a worthwhile endeavor. And if anyone here is also doing something similar I would be happy to contribute.

Most of this content is 1080i/p as various bit rates depending on the feed, there is little to no 4k and I’m also not setup to receive that anyway.
