    Pulled up CNN's "LIVE" feed of the oil, it doesn't match any of the other live video feeds.

    Do they use another feed not found on here?

    CNN's feed:

    http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream2

    The other feeds:

    http://mxl.fi/bpfeeds2/


    Any explainations?

    yup...

    It another ROV feed and could be from 1 of about 4 more ROV's that are on location...

    Keep in mind, there are 2 more drilling rigs there, the Transocean DD II and DD III and another Chouest anchor handling boat that is shared with Shell that has a ROV on the boat too.

    So yes, there are video feeds and then there are some video feeds that the general public will NOT be able to view.

    Make sense? Currently, CNN is piggybacking off of the OI III # 2 ROV.

    Also, on that link with ALL of the ROV feeds, the top two lines of feeds are ROV Spot hire boats on location.

    The bottom row of cameras are just 2 of the 4 rigs on location (and yes each rig has 2 different ROV's SO that is why you see Enterprise ROV 1, Enterprise ROV 2 and then the Q4000 ROV 1 and Q4000 ROV 2...

    The Enterprise being the drillship and the Q4000, being the weird looking rig or Platform with NO derrick like the DD II and DD III...

    There is a feed from msnbc that every now and again will show a page that says "oceaneering video portal". it has about 12 different feeds on one page. I've tried to find that page but can't.
