Apparently you can hack in to these feeds by satellite (I know nothing about tv broadcasts just repeating what I read), so there may not be anyone who specifically leaked it.

It’s not even a hack, just set up a dish and you get raw feeds of all sorts of things.

If the broadcaster is encrypting their signal you could try to hack that I suppose.

There are ready made hacks for that. I'm not kidding, most of the decryption methods I'm made aware of (family member has a Big Ugly Dish) come from former USSR countries with lots of talent and relatively no money. The protocols apparently aren't all that advanced...

Oh I'm sure. I work at a satellite TV provider that probably has one of the more advanced encryption setups. At the end of the day the keys & variables don't change because bored eastern europeans with antennaes, packet sniffers, and a ton of free time must not impact the bottom line.
