Is this via satellite then? Or internet? Bit of a newbie here but fascinated by the tech! Any explanations gratefully received!

Anylive is fibre (sometimes backed-up by satellite). Pretty much every big events venue, stadium (EFL League 2 and higher), etc. in the UK is on the network which means it can be linked to broadcast facilities (BBC, Sky, BT, RTE, IMG...): more info here. Note the map isn't completely accurate and there are endpoints on the network which aren't listed.

Thanks for this! I knew that places like Parliament (or College Green) had a facility to plug in directly to the Control Rooms but didn't think about stadia and other large places having such an option. I suppose it's more reliable than satellite, and presumably permanently connected to the network.
