Continued the country-by-country pass against the CI failed-channel
report. Verified every replacement URL with curl before applying.
Denmark, Turkey, Trinidad, Norway, Macau, Bulgaria, Switzerland,
Nigeria, Hong Kong, Romania, Montenegro yielded no confident fixes
this round (mostly geo-blocked broadcasters, confirmed-dead hosts
with no findable replacement, or false-positive checker failures)
and were left untouched.
Israel: 5, Egypt: 4, Venezuela: 4, Georgia: 2, Belgium: 1 (+1 dup
removed in azerbaijan.md), Somalia: 4, Ireland: 4, Austria: 2,
Serbia: 1, Saudi Arabia: 1, Ukraine: 2, Slovenia: 1, Mexico: 3,
Kenya: 1, Costa Rica: 1, Brazil: 2, Iran: 1
The whole www.tvkaista.net/stream-forwarder/get.php proxy is now
returning 502 Bad Gateway, so several Poland/Slovenia rows that were
still marked valid were actually broken. Replaced TVP1, TVP Polonia,
TVP Info, TVP World with working alternatives; the rest are marked
invalid pending a working replacement (TV SLO 1/2/3 candidates found
but not yet verified due to a fetch rate limit).
The media company behind the channel was previously ~88% owned by Hungarian companies believed to be closely related to Hungary's PM Viktor Orbán. Their share now is currnetly undisclosed and believed to be mostly owned by members of SDS (Slovenian Democratic Party), the far-right party that established it.
SDS is known for it's anti-immigration, anti-islamic and anti-semitic rhetoric, spreading lies about important politicians and individuals, defunding the Slovenian Press Agency and sowing division in media and state.
