NHK app has programming on the live stream, but YT stream constantly just shows bumper footage with “programming will resume shortly.”
Does anybody know why?
In the NHK app on my TV, if I select the live stream, it constantly shows programming, the same way it did when I received NHK over-the-air.
However, I can’t stand the hardcoded subtitles that, not only severely lag behind, but also take up entirely too much space in an awkward spot on the screen.
So I decided to give their YouTube livestream a shot. When the news is on, it plays that with no problem, without hardcoded subs, but then when other programming should be showing, it just airs stock/bumper aerial footage of Tokyo with a red ticker that reads “NHK World Japan programming will resume shortly” until the next time the news airs.
Does anybody know what is up with this?!
The NHK app should at least give us the option to turn off the subtitles.
Ugh, I severely miss the over-the-air broadcast…
