Why Fairly Local<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cI'm a huge fan of Stanford's Puffer. Its high-bitrate picture is first class for local channels \u2014 so I brought it to the Apple devices I use every day.\u201d<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Puffer is a free live TV study run by Stanford University researchers to make video streaming smarter. It streams the San Francisco Bay Area's over-the-air stations at a remarkably high bitrate \u2014 but its web player doesn't run in Safari or on iPhone.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Fairly Local was built from scratch as a native Apple app, with its own playback engine tuned for Puffer's stream. Same channels, same picture \u2014 now on the screens you actually watch.<\/p>\n\t\t
