FOX said the Pentagon was pretty sure it was pre-recorded, as the "live" feed froze last night.

Right--and one of the pundits noted there was a wavy feature to the broadcast, indicating it was a tape.

Freezing has replaced blackness in live feed now that video is routinely compressed and decompressed any number of times during the process, even for local transmission.
A "freeze" happens when the signal is lost or garbled for more than a few frames and the video buffer, which is now RAM, continues to provide the latest good image.
