Different Types of Streams

by Marv4Reddit

I recently changed providers and noticed that some entries in the epg info have designations that I have not seen before. Some of the UK channels (maybe others) descriptions say (RAW) after them. Example: Animal Planet FHD (RAW). Others have (D) or (Direct).

What do these mean?

Raw usually means it's without any logos that a channel provider would usually put on their channels (to prevent unauthorized usage)

Direct I think is roughly the same.
