Yes, that is also mentioned in the video Bennyboy84 posted. Apparently AlJazeera were relying on ITV for English speaking coverage (even for matches that ITV didn't cover), which is why they took the feed from ITV and not directly from UEFA.
ITV for some reason took the feed from the Eurovision Network, who presumebly got a clean feed from SRF (since SRF is a EBU memeber). But that beggs the question why other EBU memebers showing the match (like the BBC or ZDF) didn't take the EBU feed, with ZDF even resorting to what's basically piracy?
