Argentina - Egipto. Verlo en vivo, imposible. El patético streaming Mi Telefé.

BUENOS AIRES — 7 de julio — Consorcio Internacional de Periodistas JMH Usted está en Argentina mirando Argentina - Egipto y sufre. Por dos razones. Primero Egipto gana 1 a 0 y segundo la transmisión de Telefé (Mi Telefé), el único canal abierto autorizado en el país Austral a transmitir el mundial 'en vivo', llega con un delay/atraso de 120 segundos.  You are in Argentina watching the Argentina vs. Egypt match, and you are suffering. For two reasons. First, Egypt is winning 1–0; second, the broadcast from Telefé (*Mi Telefé*)—the only channel in the country authorized to air the World Cup "live"—is running with a 120-second delay.

Todos gritan los goles menos usted. Después del 2 a 0 los nervios se crispan y la transmisión se corta. Y no vuelve. Usted oprime 'actualizar' de modo que la página regrese y no solo no regresa. Aparece una pantalla negra con un cartel fúnebre que dice: You are not allowed to watch this event: Invalid Token (No tienes permiso para ver este evento: token no válido.). Es decir que el único canal de TV que tiene permiso para transmitir 'en vivo', en realidad transmite 'en muerto'.

Nota 1: durante el partido el relator decía con orgullo: hay 30 millones, no, 40 millones, no 8.100 millones mirando la transmisión por Telefé. El planeta pudo verlo, muchachos.

Argentina - Egipto 'en muerto'.

Nota 2: los gritos de la calle le avisaban a aquellos dolientes que esperaban ver el partido en Mi Telefé que hubo tres goles y Argentina ganó 3 a 2.

BUENOS AIRES — July 7 — JMH International Journalists Consortium. 

You are in Argentina watching the Argentina vs. Egypt match, and you are suffering. For two reasons. First, Egypt is winning 1–0; second, the broadcast from Telefé (*Mi Telefé*)—the only open channel in the country authorized to air the World Cup "live"—is running with a 120-second delay. Everyone else is cheering for the goals, but not you. After the score hits 2–0, nerves are frayed, and the feed cuts out. And it doesn't come back. You hit "refresh" to try to get the page back, but it doesn't return. Instead, a black screen appears with a grim message: "You are not allowed to watch this event: Invalid Token." In other words, the only TV channel permitted to broadcast "live" is actually broadcasting "dead."

Note 1: During the match, the commentator proudly declared: "There are 30 million—no, 40 million—no, 8.1 billion people watching the broadcast on Telefé." The whole planet could see it, guys.

Argentina vs. Egypt: "dead" broadcast.

Note 2: Shouts from the street tipped off the aggrieved viewers waiting for the match on *Mi Telefé* that three goals had been scored and Argentina had won 3–2.
