Channels & viewing

Randomly when usually watching a Fox News Broadcast on my Roku device, the broadcast is interrupted by an Asian woman crocheting a small object. The original video never resumes and this interruption does not have a count-down timer such as how valid commercials do.

This seems like ILLEGAL HACKING to me!

This has been going on for quite awhile.  Those Youtube channels are usually just broadcasting an unlicensed stream of Fox (and others).  Then a little box will appear (usually asian or india themed).

It is an attempt to circumvent/confuse the AI copyright checks and fair-use exceptions to the Youtube policies.  (normally these are livestreams and deleted upon completion).

The chinese knitting lady has been around since at least 2021 or so.  When a channel gets closed down, it will reappear under a different one. (three strikes per channel so just rides out the strikes and starts another).  It's not really one person.  It is a bunch of people and they just use the knitting video they downloaded from somewhere.  

Another popular one that used to circulate had a couple of cats in the streamer's box  window.

Me too.  Very concerned about Asian women interrupting FOX NEWS for months.  Advertisers pay ,,,$$$$$$ and what is her purpose.  Also same picture of President Trump showing him instead of actual news.  What is going on?????PLEASE RESPOND.  ALSO. Fox news on You Tube.

Did you read the post above your post?

As Strega indicated, you are not watching a legally streamed Fox broadcast.  The best thing is to use the Fox news app or stream from a legitimate channel on Youtube.
